The Nigerian Police Force, Zone 13 Headquarters in Ukpo-Dinukofia, has notified candidates from Anambra and Enugu states about the upcoming medical screening exercise for police recruitment.
This exercise will cover both general duty and specialist constables and will take place at the Police Hospital, Central Police Station in Awka, Anambra State.
The statement, issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Josephine Ihunwo, on Monday, stated that the screening will be conducted from April 16 to April 30, 2024.
It is important to note that Zone 13 Headquarters includes police formations in Anambra, Enugu, and certain parts of Ebonyi State.
The statement reads:
“This is to notify the general public that police recruitment medical screening exercise for both general duty and specialist constable will commence simultaneously nationwide on Tuesday, April 16 and it will end on April 30, 2024.
“Prospective candidates from Zone 13 comprising Anambra and Enugu states should note that the exercise will take place at Police Hospital, Central Police Station Awka.
“Candidates are advised to visit the recruitment portal: https://apply.policerecruitment.gov.ng to know their status, specific time, date and other mandatory requirements.
“So also, qualified applicants are to appear in a clean white T-shirt and shorts with the following requirements, National Identity Card/Slip, printout of medical examination slip, and all necessary documents.
“The Assistant Inspector-General of Police Zone 13 Command, AIG Godwin Ndidi Aghaulor, wishes all prospective candidates success as they embark on this exercise.”
In March 2024, the Enugu State Police Command announced the dates and venues for the Computer-Based Test (CBT) for General Duty applicants in the recruitment of police constables, as reported by PUNCH Online.
According to the command’s spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, the successful applicants who had undergone physical and credentials screening were scheduled to take the CBT on Tuesday, March 5, and Wednesday, March 6, 2024.
The CBT exercise will be conducted at three different centers, namely Coal City University CBT Centre on Abakaliki Road, Enugu; Enugu State College of Education (Technical) on Abakaliki Road, Enugu; and Foretrust Digital Learning Management Centre, Premier Layout, Near Dunamis Church, New Artisan, Enugu.
Remember that The Edo State Police Command has stressed the illegality of police examining residents’ phones during normal patrols and other operations, calling the practice “unprofessional conduct.”
SP Chidi Nwabuzor, the command’s Public Relations Officer, confirmed this in a statement put on the command’s Facebook page on Friday.
In the announcement, the state’s Commissioner of Police, CP Funsho Adegboye, advised officers not to do this conduct because the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the punishment of erring officials.
The statement read,
“This press release is to inform the general public especially the law abiding citizens of Edo State of the state police command’s position regarding searching of citizens’ phones by operatives while on routine patrol, stop and search duties in the state.
“The Commissioner of Police Edo State, CP Funsho Adegboye, during a meeting with the command’s strategic security managers, re-echoed the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, on the ban on seaching of citizens’ phones while on patrol, raid operations, stop and search duties or other essential duties.
“He warned that on no account should police officers/operatives engage in searching citizens’ phones in line of duties.”
