The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has alerted Nigerians to a fraudulent advertorial currently circulating on social media, falsely claiming that the commission is conducting a recruitment exercise.
In a statement released, the electoral body clarified that it is not recruiting for any positions and urged the public to disregard the misleading information.
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.
