The police say they are not planning to conduct any background checks on individuals and entities in partnership with Ace of Spades Consult Nigeria Limited.
The police said this in reaction to reports that they would be conducting background checks from July 1 on individuals and legal entities through a dedicated website.
Frank Mba, force public relations officer, said the claim by the company is a “pack of lies.”
Mba said the police have no plans to unveil any website for purposes of carrying out background checks “in the manner stated in the publication”.
