Nigeria Police Force has begun disqualifying ineligible applicants in its ongoing recruitment exercise, as candidates who fail to meet the stated requirements are now receiving disqualification notices on the recruitment portal.
Checks show that applicants outside the approved age bracket are being screened out, with the system relying on National Identity Management Commission records to verify age and identity details. For General Duty Constable positions, eligible applicants are required to be between 18 and 25 years old.
Affected candidates are seeing their application status marked as disqualified, with explanations clearly stated on their dashboards. The development confirms that background screening and data verification are actively underway.
The recruitment exercise, coordinated with the Police Service Commission, targets the enlistment of 50,000 constables nationwide. Authorities have repeatedly stressed that the application process is free and transparent.
Applicants are advised to regularly check the portal for updates and avoid unofficial channels entirely only.
