The police command in Rivers says it will begin screening of applicants who had indicated interest to join the force on Jan. 8.

“This is to inform the general public, especially all indigenes of Rivers , who applied for ongoing recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) that screening will hold from Jan. 8 to Jan. 29.
“Applicants are expected to come with the required documents for the physical/credential screening exercise at the Alfred Diete-Spiff Civic Centre, Moscow Road.
“The required documents are evidence of physical/mental fitness from a government recognised medical hospital and evidence of good character from each village/district head of applicants,” she stated.
Ms Iringe-Koko said candidates should also come forward with original and duplicate copies of their certificate of origin, duly signed by chairman or secretary of their local government areas.
