Proceed to training colleges, NPF tells recruits,defies PSC

The Nigeria police force has told successful applicants joining the constable cadre to ignore the Police Service Commission by reporting for training on Monday. 

NPF on Sunday released the names of successful candidates for the 2019 constable recruitment and fixed training resumption day as October 21st - 25th, 2019. 

The list which has been generating reactions among NPF and PSC adds to ongoing feud between the two parties.
