The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, on Monday suspended entry requirements for applicants who wants to join the Nigeria Police Force as constables.
Palito Media recalls that the Nigeria Police is currently recruiting 10,000 constables.
In a statement last Thursday Force spokesman, DCP Frank Mba, had stated that all applicants were expected to come with their National Identity Number; original and duplicate copies of credentials, (O’ Level results); certificate of origin and birth certificate or declaration of age neatly arranged in two white flat files with recent passport photographs.
The police also barred persons with bow legs, knock knees, bent knees, and gross malformation of teeth from being enlisted into the Force.
Individuals with amputated body parts, defective eyesight, and speech impediment had also been barred from the exercise.
The notice also stipulated that applicants must be within the ages of 17 and 25 and must possess a minimum of five credits in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination in not more than two sittings.
But in a latest signal to police commands and formations nationwide, IGP Adamu directed that all applicants should be attended to.
