‘We’re Not Recruiting, Disregard Fake Advertisement’, INEC Alerts Nigerians

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has asked Nigerians to disregard a fake recruitment advertisement presently circulating on the social media.

INEC in a statement posted on its X handle on Wednesday, said the fraudulent notice falsely claimed that the Commission was recruiting for various positions and directed applicants to a fake portal, inecrecruitment.com, to submit their details.

The Commission clarified that it does not operate such a website and has no ongoing recruitment exercise.

“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,” INEC said.

The Commission urged Nigerians to rely only on its official website and verified communication channels for authentic information.
