PRESS RELEASE

PSC WARNS AGAINST ILLEGAL CHARGES BY CYBER CAFES AND AGENTS FOR NPF RECRUITMENT APPLICATIONS

The attention of the Police Service Commission has been drawn to reports of illegal charges of up to Fifteen Thousand Naira (₦15,000) or more being collected by some cyber cafes and their agents from applicants seeking to apply for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). These unscrupulous elements falsely claim that part of the money is remitted to the Commission and other government authorities.

The Commission wishes to reiterate categorically that the application process for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force is ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE. No payment whatsoever is required from applicants at any stage of the process.

Prospective applicants are strongly advised to personally visit the official recruitment portal at: www.npfapplication.psc.gov.ng to submit their applications directly, without necessarily involving third parties.

The Commission warns that anyone found engaging in such fraudulent activities will face the full wrath of the law. Applicants are urged to report any demands for payment to the nearest police station or directly to the Police Service Commission via: 07054992071 (SMS/Whatsapp only).

The PSC remains committed to a transparent, merit-based, and accessible recruitment process.

TROOPS OF OPERATION HADIN KAI DEFEAT TERRORIST MULTIPLE ATTACKS ACROSS THE JOINT OPERATIONS AREA

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) with renewed vigour successfully defeated terrorist attacks on multiple locations across the Joint Operations Area in the early hours of today, 23 October 2025.

Between midnight and 0400 hours, the terrorists launched coordinated assaults on troops’ positions in Dikwa, Mafa, Gajibo, and Katarko, situated in Sector 1(Borno State) and Sector 2 (Yobe State) respectively. In all instances, troops stood firm, fought gallantly, and professionally repelled the attacks, dealing the terrorists a heavy decisive and bloody blow.

The coordinated offensive response was supported by air platforms of the Air Component Command of OPHK. The precision strikes, coupled with enhanced battlefield awareness provided by Theatre Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets, gave troops additional leverage and impetus to respond with overwhelming and lethal force.

The combined ground and air efforts resulted in the neutralisation of over 50 terrorists across all the locations. Troops also recovered 38 AK-47 rifles, 7 PKT machine guns, 5 RPG tubes, 2 GPMGs and hand grenades along with thousands of assorted belted and loose rounds of different calibres. Additionally, over 70 of the wounded miscreants are still being pursued by ground troops supported by the Air Component in close coordination.

Intelligence further revealed the terrorists who attacked Dikwa and Gajibo manoeuvred from the Cameroon axis, while those that attacked Katarko emerged from the Timbuktu Triangle, a known terrorist enclave.

Some of the gallant troops were wounded in action but are in stable condition. Some vehicles and buildings were also gutted by fire from the terrorists armed drones and RPG fire during the battle especially in Mafa and Dikwa where a part of the defences were momentarily breached.

The Military High Command has commended the gallantry, doggednes

NAF RECRUITS PUSH LIMITS DURING INITIAL BUSH CAMP EXERCISE, DISPLAY READINESS FOR COUNTER-INSURGENCY OPERATIONS

The Military Training Centre (MTC), Kaduna, has successfully concluded the Initial Bush Camp Exercise for recruits of the Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) 45/2024, held from 29 September to 4 October 2025. The exercise provided the recruits with an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills acquired from classroom lessons in realistic combat settings, relevant for counter-insurgency operations. The event culminated in a 20-kilometre inter-squadron cross country competition designed to test endurance, teamwork, and resilience, with the C-130 Squadron emerging as the overall winner.

The practical field training exposed the recruits to essential combat drills such as day and night navigation, patrols, ambush operations, and tactical manoeuvres including tent striking, all critical for internal security operations. Tent striking trains recruits to dismantle camps rapidly and move without leaving traces. Through these exercises, the recruits demonstrated the discipline, adaptability, and combat readiness required to function in dynamic operational environments. The MTC Commandant, Air Commodore Mohammed Lawal, commended the recruits endurance, discipline, and readiness to serve as professionals. He also highlighted the vital inter-agency collaboration with the 1 Division Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police, and the Federal Road Safety Corps, which contributed to the success of the exercise.

The successful completion of the Initial Bush Camp underscores the NAF’s unwavering commitment to training, operational readiness, and professionalism in line with the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar’s key enabler on Deliberate Training and Mission-Oriented Force Development. Through such rigorous and mission-driven field training, the NAF continues to produce well-trained and combat-ready personnel, equipped to contribute effectively to nati

INTERNAL SECURITY: IGP EGBETOKUN COMMISSIONS 59 ARMOURED VEHICLES FOR ENHANCED TACTICAL OPERATIONS

Operational capacity of the Nigeria Police Force received a major boost today, 26th September 2025, as the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, commissioned fifty-nine (59) Armoured Toyota Hilux Vehicles at the Force Headquarters, Abuja. These purpose-built vehicles, designed to withstand hostile fire, endure harsh terrains, and provide speed, durability, and protection, mark a significant step in equipping tactical and special units to dominate in high-risk field operations.

In his address, the IGP emphasised that the credibility of the Nigeria Police Force will continually be earned by results delivered, noting that the commissioning comes at a critical time when insecurity is evolving in both complexity and intensity across the African continent, with Nigeria not exempt. He further stated that the newly inducted vehicles are not ceremonial displays but strategic reinforcements in a broader framework aimed at strengthening operations, enhancing intelligence gathering, and enforcing accountability across all levels of the Force.

Charging commanders and tactical operatives, IGP Egbetokun directed that the vehicles must never be left idle while citizens face danger. He stressed that every deployment must be lawful, proportionate, and decisive, warning that criminal elements must no longer find safe haven in any part of the nation. The IGP assured Nigerians that the public will, in due time, bear witness to declining crime rates and increased confidence in the Force.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has recorded another major breakthrough in its fight against violent crime. In a series of well-coordinated operations carried out between 3rd and 19th September 2025, operatives of the Command successfully apprehended members of a notorious armed robbery syndicate responsible for multiple violent crimes within the FCT and its environs.

The suspects were arrested at Kagini, FCT, and Madalla, Niger State. They include: Ibrahim Shaibu a.k.a. Baba Godes (M), 28 years, from Zaria, Kaduna State, Yusuf Salihu (M), 40 years, from Kagini, FCT, Awulu Nuhu a.k.a. Zabi (M), 25 years, from Keita LGA, Katsina State, Usman Yerima a.k.a.

The operation led to the recovery of Two (2) English pistols, Forty-nine (49) rounds of 9mm live ammunition, One (1) gray Toyota Corolla (2012 model), Ten (10) android phones suspected to have been stolen from victims.

During interrogation, the suspects confessed to their involvement in several violent crimes, including the armed robbery of Umar Y. Gowa at Hillside Estate, Dawaki, and the attack on Volcano Peak Court Hotel, Gwarinpa, where guests were robbed and Bashir Dauda, popularly known as DJ Bash, was fatally shot.

Investigations further revealed that the syndicate had been terrorizing residents of Gwarinpa and Dawaki, where they carried out violent attacks on unsuspecting members of the public. This was corroborated by CCTV footage that captured one of their attacks on an innocent resident, further exposing the gang’s ruthless modus operandi.

The suspects also provided useful information on other gang members currently at large. Efforts are ongoing to track down and apprehend the fleeing members of the syndicate.
