Nigeria Police have cautioned Nigerians, especially corporate entities, to beware of deceived to part with their hard-earned resources for a certain organization known as Ace of Spade Consult that had floated the idea of Police Background Check Number (PBCN).
“Any individual or organization that does so, does it at their own expense and risk.”
A statement today, June 23 by the Force spokesman, Frank Mba, said: “the attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to a publication in some sections of the media credited to one Ace of Spades Consult Nigeria Limited, stating that ‘‘individuals and legal entity (both foreign and domestic) will from 1st July, 2019 have the opportunity to sign up and acquire a Police Background Check Number (PBCN), through a dedicated website which will be unveiled soon’’.
“While restating the commitment of the Nigeria Police under its current leadership to continue to work with private entities in evolving technologically driven solutions for addressing security challenges within our country, the Force however wishes to state that in the instant case, the claims by Ace of Spades Consult are unfortunately a pack of lies. The Nigeria Police Force has no plans whatsoever to unveil any such dedicated website for purposes of carrying out background checks in the manner stated in the publication.”
The statement said investigations have been commenced to unravel the circumstances surrounding the purported claims and publication.
