The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has cautioned Nigerians to ignore a fake recruitment advert currently circulating on social media.
In a statement shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, the Commission described the notice as fraudulent, saying it falsely claims INEC is recruiting for various positions.
According to the statement, the scam advert directs unsuspecting applicants to a fake website-inecrecruitment.com-to submit their personal details.
“The impostor behind this illicit recruitment exercise also asked would-be respondents to log on to an equally fake portal – inecrecruitment.com to complete their applications. But INEC does not have any such portal,” the electoral body said.
INEC stressed that it is not conducting any recruitment exercise at the moment and urged Nigerians to remain vigilant.
“The commission hereby calls on the public to disregard this fraudulent call for applications. The commission IS NOT recruiting. Do not fall victim to the antics of criminal elements,” it added.
