The Nasarawa State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of five applicants for various offenses in the ongoing recruitment exercise in Lafia, the state capital.
The Commissioner of Police in charge of the exercise in the state, Alhassan Mamoda, told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN on Wednesday in Lafia that four of the applicants were discovered to have forged their certificates while the fifth was arrested for stealing a mobile phone.
“Imagine someone who wants to join the police to protect lives and properties now stealing a handset at the venue of the screening exercise.
“He stole the handset and hid it in his pants and was discovered and apprehended in the cause of investigation.
“They were all handed over to the appropriate department of the force for further investigation,” he said.
Mamoda advised other applicants with criminal tendencies to desist as they stood the risk of being caught.
The commissioner disclosed that of the 9,627 candidates that applied from the state, 5,200 had so far been screened.
