The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has cautioned the public to disregard a false recruitment advertisement circulating on social media.
In a statement shared via its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, INEC debunked the misleading notice, which falsely alleges that the commission is hiring for multiple roles.
The deceptive advert instructs applicants to submit their personal information on a fraudulent website—inecrecruitment.com.com.
“Our attention has been drawn to a fake advertorial currently circulating on social media, giving the impression that the Independent National Electoral Commission 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 statement read.
INEC made it clear that it is not conducting any recruitment exercise at the moment, urging the public not to fall prey to the scam.
“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 continued.
