Many applicants for constable in the Nigeria Police Force paid N700,000 and above each to secure the job in the recent nationwide recruitment by the police. President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 approved the recruitment of 10,000 police constables annually to beef up security in the country.
The factional Senate President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ismail Adediwura Adeshina has declared the president of the faction, Faruk Lawal missing hours after announcing his arrest. He had also said that he (Adediwura) spoke with Lawal and that there was no cause for alarm. Adediwura on Tuesday wrote on his Facebook page, “Nigeria students, please let us be calm, Faky is not free yet, but I have spoken with him, and no protest for now until when is necessary.”
