The Police Service Commission (PSC) has released the names of 6, 253 successful candidates for the police job.
The candidates’ names were posted on the Commission’s website on Saturday.
The successful candidates, according to PSC, will proceed to training school on or before June 13.
The list which was released on state-by- state basis had some irregularities.
Several names were repeated especially for candidates from Lagos and Edo States.
The Nation also discovered that 6,000 vacant positions were advertised but the recent list exceeded the positions advertised.
The Commission had last week published names of 5,059 candidates shortlisted for medicals.
In the list released last week, Kano has the highest number of shortlisted candidates.
But in the new list, Niger has the highest number of successful candidates.
Curiously, Niger had only 169 candidates in the first list but has 346 in the fresh one.
The Inspector- General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, is from Niger State.
