Police officials warn Kenyans about fake recruitment posts spreading on social media. The National Police Service declared a notice about hiring constables completely false. They posted this warning on Saturday on their official X page after seeing the fraudulent announcement targeting several counties, including Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River, Garissa, Taita Taveta, Wajir, and Mandera.

The fake notice claimed to need 5,000 new police constables. It asked people with ID cards to apply through a process that seemed official. The scam notice even referenced real laws, like Article 240 of the Constitution and sections of the National Police Service Commission Act, to appear legitimate. It also tried to scare people with warnings about penalties for submitting false information.

The police reminded everyone that they had never announced any current recruitment campaign. They urged citizens to verify information through official channels before providing personal details or documents. The NPS regularly posts authentic announcements on its verified social media accounts and website. People should stay alert about similar scams that might appear online.
