The Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, has issued a warning regarding a fake recruitment website that is going around on social media ahead of the general elections in 2023.
This was announced by INEC last night via a post on its social media pages.
Recall that the electoral commission had previously disclosed a hiring process for the ad hoc staff that would be used to conduct the upcoming elections.
However, INEC has come forward to distance itself from it in response to the creation of a fictitious website for the recruitment of ad hoc staff by unidentified individuals.
The statement read: “our attention has been drawn to a fake adhoc recruitment link https://inecnigeria.govservice.site/ being circulated by some unknown persons on various social media platforms, frequently visited sites and blogs with the intention to defraud unsuspecting citizens.
“We implore Nigerians to disregard the fake link and avoid falling victims of swindlers.
“The INEC Adhoc Recruitment Exercise is absolutely free of charge. No payment of any kind is required throughout the application process”, it said.
