The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has cautioned Nigerians to disregard a fake recruitment advertisement currently circulating on social media.
In a statement posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, the commission explained that the advert falsely claims INEC is recruiting for various positions and directs applicants to a fraudulent website, inecrecruitment.com, to submit their details.
“Our attention has been drawn to a fake advertorial circulating on social media, giving the impression that the Independent National Electoral Commission is recruiting for various positions,” the statement read.
“The impostor behind this fraudulent exercise also asked would-be applicants to log on to an equally fake portal – inecrecruitment.com – to complete their applications. INEC does not have any such portal.”
The commission stressed that it is not conducting any recruitment exercise at present 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.
