The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has cautioned Nigerians to disregard a fake recruitment advert currently circulating on social media.
The commission, in a statement posted on its X handle on Wednesday, noted that the fraudulent notice falsely claimed that INEC was recruiting for various positions and directed applicants to a fake portal, inecrecruitment.com, to submit their details.
The electoral body clarified that it does not operate such a website and has no ongoing recruitment exercise.
INEC said: “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 – inecrecruitment.com to complete their applications. But INEC does not have any such portal.
“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 commission advised Nigerians to rely only on its official website and verified communication channels for authentic information.
