The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, warned members of the public against falling victims to fraudsters, while denying reports that it is currently recruiting.
This is in reaction to an online report claiming that the commission commenced 2023 recruitment on July 4th, 2023.
But in a tweet on Monday, the security agency warned prospective applicants that the information is false and misleading.
In a statement, it said, “The information, which is obviously the handiwork of fraudsters, advises prospective applicants to click a link (https//spukd.com/EFCC-2023-Recruitment-Portal).”
The Commission warned the public against clicking any link that cannot be found on its website (http://efcc.gov.ng).
“We also use this opportunity to urge members of the public to cross-check any EFCC employment information in the social media with the Commission by email to: info@efcc.gov.ng or call 08093322644.” it added.
