The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mubarak, has announced a postponement of the nationwide security services recruitment exercise, shifting the start date from Saturday, November 15, to Monday, November 17.
The decision, communicated on Friday, November 14, follows the tragic incident at the El Wak Sports Stadium during the military recruitment process.
According to the Interior Minister, the exercise for the Police, Immigration, and Prisons Service will resume on Monday, with an updated schedule expected to be published in the national newspapers, on official social media platforms, and through the appropriate ministries and agencies.
“The advertisement indicated that application forms would be available on November 15, 2025. However, in light of the unfortunate incident that occurred on Wednesday during the Armed Forces recruitment process, the Ministry of the Interior, in consultation with Security Chiefs, has decided to postpone the start date of applications from November 15 to Monday, November 17, 2025, as a mark of respect to the bereaved families and those who were injured.
He said, “It will be published in the national dailies, on the Ministry and its Agencies’ website, and on social media platforms.”
He explained that applicants can purchase vouchers either from any GCB Bank branch nationwide or via a USSD code from home. He added that the publication will provide the web address and short code details, and that the new, robust centralised e-recruitment portal is designed to harmonise and standardise recruitment across all Interior Ministry agencies.
