Nigerians have been warned by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) about a false advertisement that is circulating on social media, stating that the commission is holding a recruitment exercise.
The electoral body encouraged the public to ignore the false information and explained in a statement that it is not hiring for any vacancies.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to a fake advertorial currently circulating on social media, giving the impression that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is recruiting for various positions. The impostor behind this illicit recruitment exercise also asked would-be respondents to log on to an equally fake portal – www.inecrecruitment.com – to complete their applications. But INEC does not have any such portal.”
INEC stressed that the announcement is the handiwork of criminal elements seeking to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
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,” the statement added.
