Butswat said that the screening would hold at the premises of the Police Officers’ Mess, Hospital Road, Yenagoa, from 7.30a.m to 6.00p.m daily.

According to him, the exercise will be conducted in strict compliance with the COVID-19 prevention protocols.

“The applicants are to appear in their clean white T-shirts and shorts.

“Other mandatory basic requirements include: National Identity Number (NIN); original and duplicate copies of credentials – O’ Level Result(s), Certificate of Origin and Birth Certificate/Declaration of Age – neatly arranged in two white flat files, with recent passport photographs attached.

“Other requirements are printout of application submission confirmation page, duly completed Guarantor’s form.

“Any candidate, who fails to present (i –iv) above, will not be considered for the screening,” Butswat said.

He said that the screening of applicants from Yenagoa Local Government Area was scheduled for Aug. 24 and Aug. 25, while applicants from Ogbia LGA will be screened on Aug. 26.
