The Commission described the publications as fake, warning that they were created by fraudsters seeking to deceive and exploit unsuspecting Nigerians.
In a statement published on its official website on Monday, the PSC said it had not commenced any recruitment exercise.

“They are the handiwork of fraudsters attempting to exploit innocent citizens,” the Commission said.
It added that no recruitment portal had been opened by the Commission.
“There is currently no ongoing recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force.
“The Police Service Commission has not opened any portal for such an exercise,” the statement added.
The PSC stressed that whenever recruitment begins, the announcement will be made strictly through authorised platforms.
According to the statement, official channels include advertisements in reputable national newspapers, announcements posted on the Commission’s verified website (www.psc.gov.ng), and formal press releases.
“We urge Nigerians to rely only on information published through these official channels.
“Any recruitment portal not listed on our website is fraudulent and should be reported to the police,” the commission said.
The PSC advised the public to ignore the fake recruitment claims to avoid falling victim to scams.
The Police Service Commission has cautioned Nigerians seeking a career in the Nigeria Police Force to beware of fake recruitment adverts circulating online, insisting that it has not yet commenced the 2025 recruitment exercise.
