Mamodu said, “Imagine someone who wants to join the police to protect lives and properties now stealing a handset at the venue of the screening exercise.”

“He stole the handset and hid it in his pants and was discovered and apprehended in the cause of investigation.”

“They were all handed over to the appropriate department of the force for further investigation.”

To avoid being arrested, the commissioner appealed to other candidates who are nurturing plans to commit similar forgery, to refrain from such, as they will be made to face serious consequences.

According to him, 5, 200 applicants of the 9,627, have been screened during the exercise.
