Attempts
by many candidates to apply for enlistment into the Nigeria Police
Force were frustrated on Friday as the two police portals for the
recruitment crashed and were inaccessible for most part of the day.
The Police Service Commission had directed interested candidates to apply through its website, www.psc.gov.ng or that of the Nigeria Police Force, www.npf.gov.ng, but the two websites crashed due to huge traffic.
It was gathered that many candidates could not apply online at different cyber cafés and had to go back home in frustration.
Attempts to access the websites between
2pm and 6pm were abortive as the PSC website simply said, “This Account
has been suspended. Contact your hosting provider for more information.”
The police website –www.ngf.gov.ng –
on the other hand, was inaccessible for over 10 hours during which our
correspondents monitored the website. But police sources said about
8,000 candidates had registered as of 2pm.
“Candidates started registering online
from 4am on Friday when the portals opened for registration; as of 2pm,
over 8,000 candidates had registered online. The traffic was huge and
this explains why many applicants could not access the websites because
the servers were down,” a source explained.
