Amaraizu said that the exercise would take place on Saturday at the Federal Government College (FGC), Independence Layout, Enugu.

“We have earlier sent text and email messages to the candidates who scaled through the physical screening held earlier last month, to attend the test.

“We also gave instruction on what is needed in the hall as the supervisors expect that the applicants must strictly abide by the rules of the test,’’ he said.

Amaraizu said that the list containing the affected candidates names could be accessed at the state police headquarters in Leck Street, Enugu for further confirmation.
