The Nigerian Police Force has finally stated reasons why it decided to disqualify applicants with tattoo for the ongoing recruitment exercise.

Reacting to this stance, the Niger State Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Marafa, said that applicants for the ongoing police recruitment who have tattoos were rejected to avoid hiring cultists into the Force.

At an inspection of the recruitment process in Minna by the Federal Character Commission, (FCC), Marafa said people know that tattoos are associated with cult membership and the Police Force will not recruit people with them.

He disclosed that the recruitment exercise has been successful in the state as measures had been put in place to ensure that the applicants hired had even spread across the state.

The coordinator of the military recruitment for the sub-zone of Kogi, Kwara and Niger holding in Minna, Brigadier General Gabriel Ochigbano, told the visiting officials that the applicants had been screened down to 150 per state from the 350 per state on the average that showed up for the recruitment

At least all these yeye cultist and street urchins will be disqualified.

Nonsense.



Those people who are in the anti cultism unit of the Nigerian police force, how do they know dat someone is a cultist?


How do they know that it is only cultists that inscribe tattoos on their bodies? Ah mean.. isn't dis a warped mentality?

So anybody with tatoo na cultist?

Nigeria my country, with this warped thinking of ours, we still have a long way to go. I can't believe this is coming from the nigeria police. So only cultists inscribe tattoo on their bodies? Smh

Seen many SARS men with tattoos and even worse than cultists.

F*ck the police, there are lots of people without tattoo on their body, and they are hardcore cultist, I can give them example if they want, so they should spear me that ancient mentality, black men with black mentality

I like their excuses too much... because it is lame.

So in other words, they are saying that employing a candidate with tattoos will prevent him or her from carrying out their duties effectively....hmnnnm

Na wa o! I get tattoo does it make me a cultist?

Another Police story....

Another Police story....

Is this for real? Person belle fit big reach like this?

Not sure this is our police looks like security uniform in USA

You see their mumu excuse? If I talk now, some hypocrites will start quoting me like they did on the initial thread for police recruitment.

All these rules.of tattoo etc have been abandoned by developed countries donkey years ago. Even traditionally, Africans love tattoos and body art. My grandmother has tattoos on her legs and she got it before Nigeria became a Federal Republic, does that make her a cultist? I wonder why people think with their anuses. And some people will still come and argue that tattoo is negative western culture. They ought to just join boko haram and form their own tattoo haram insurgency.

Na only for naija dem go leave wetin dem suppose do begin dey find anoda thing wey no concern them!
