However, some people have taken the advantage of the recruitment to scam some unemployed youth thereby collecting money from them in exchange for their employment into the force as Spy Police Officers but, thereafter, issued fake appointment letters and the police identity cards to them to believe their appointments are authentic.

My investigation into the matter has shown that many unemployed youth are victims of this same spy police job by different police officers. While speaking with some police officers that volunteered information but warned I should not mention their names, they revealed that many unemployed youth have been given fake appointment letters and the police identity cards, asking questions to know if the said letters and Identity cards are genuine since they have been with them for months and even for a year without being called by the police authority to start work.
