The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has disassociated itself from a circular inviting applicant to submit applications for recruitment of 2023/2024 Application Portal dated 7th April, 2023.
The commission through its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren called on unsuspecting Nigerian’s to disregard the circular as it is not from the EFCC.
He said the fraudsters mischievously added career to the Commission’s Website address to read efcc.gov.ng/career, giving semblance to the genuineness of their schemes.
According to the statement, the fraudsters admitted that the process has not started, they nevertheless, went further to provide a link on how to apply, and urged members of the public to “share to other WhatsApp groups to help others”.
“The Commission wishes to notify the public that it is currently not recruiting. Any information to the contrary circulating in the social media is false and the handiwork of mischief makers aimed at defrauding hapless job seekers.
“It would be recalled that many have been arrested and prosecuted for such malicious and fraudulent activities. The Commission would not hesitate to continue to apply the full wrath of the law to bring perpetrators to book.
“Information about the Commission’s activities, including job openings can be obtained from its official website, efcc.gov.ng.”
