Hello Nairalanders,

I got a job offer last week from an organization, as part of the requirements to accept the offer, I must present a police clearance, according to them, the police clearance is to certify that I am not a criminal and that I haven't committed a crime in the past.

I visited a police outpost close to me and I was directed to their divisional headquarters, I got there but was referred to command headquarters.

Dear nairalanders, please help me. Who has gotten such document before? What is the procedure? How much does it cost?

The last question is my major concern cus I don't have a dime now.

UPDATE: Today,(22/01/24), I visited FCT police command headquarters and was directed to the fingerprint department. I filled a form and my fingerprints were taken.

The officer that attended to me then said I must pay the sum of 20k before they can proceed. I left there without paying because I didn't have the money.

Please, am I about to be ripped off or that's the due process. This is urgent please
