The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has formally refuted claims circulating on social media regarding a supposed secret recruitment drive. Through an official statement on its verified X account this Monday, the agency urged the public to dismiss these fabricated reports.
To emphasize its position, the commission released an image clearly labeled as fake, advising individuals to exercise caution. The fraudulent posts had suggested that a new hiring cycle was underway, with training sessions scheduled to start next month, while prompting users to send private messages for additional details.
The EFCC distanced itself from these claims, characterizing them as deceptive tactics used by scammers to defraud job seekers. The agency maintained that all its hiring processes are handled openly and communicated via its official channels. It strictly forbids secret recruitment or the use of unofficial third parties for job placement.
Ultimately, the commission cautioned citizens to verify all information regarding employment or agency activities through its authorized platforms. Trusting unverified online claims could leave individuals vulnerable to financial exploitation.
