NATIONAL: We’re not recruiting new staff, EFCC warns Nigerians

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has debunked the report making the rounds on social media that it is employing new workers.

The commission, which advised Nigerians to ignore unverifiable message, stressed that scammers are bent on defrauding hapless job seekers.

In a statement signed by its Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC said, “the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission wishes to alert the public about fake EFCC Recruitment Form 2021 circulating in the social media , and to warn that the Commission is currently not recruiting.”

The commission added that “Scammers bent on defrauding hapless job seekers, have been active in the social media, providing link for unsuspecting members of the public seeking employment into the EFCC, to obtain , “EFCC Recruitment Form 2021 / 2022 and Guidelines Form and apply for the ongoing EFCC recruitment 2021.”.

The statement also cautioned members of the public to ignore forged letters of employment purportedly from the EFCC used to extort unsuspecting members of the public.

It described recruitment into the EFCC as a structured and merit-driven process always advertised through the mass media and the agency’s social platform.

The commission assured the public that those behind the fraudulent act would be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.

“The EFCC is on the trail of the scammers behind this devious scheme as no efforts will be spared to bring them to justice.
