The Police Recruitment Screening Suspension
It was earlier reported that the Police Recruitment screening exercise for Ogbadibo local govt was suspended
following the report, the Benue State Police Command has explained why the screening exercise for applicants from Ogbadibo Local Government Area in the ongoing recruitment into the force was suspended.
Adding that some candidates from Ogbadibo, who successfully completed the police online recruitment registration and proceeded for physical screening were left stranded after the Benue State Police Command suspended and threatened to cancel the process.
The officers teargassed and chased out applicants from the venue.
Most of the applicant who came from other states such as Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt and a host of other states were stranded in the state.
However, the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, Anene Sewuese Catherine, she said the exercise was not cancelled but suspended “for their own good.”
Anene said, “These people decided to prove themselves. They were constituting nuisance to the environment. Because they wanted to waste our time, we asked them to go and come back on the last day. It was not cancelled because we had already screened 300 people from that local government.
