The Independent National Electoral Commission has distanced itself from a fake website recruiting Adhoc staff with the intention to defraud unsuspecting citizens.
INEC disclosed this on Tuesday night via a post on its social media accounts, advising citizens to be wary of such a website as its recruitment process is completely free.
The electoral commission had previously announced a recruitment exercise for its Adhoc staff to be deployed for the conduct of the forthcoming elections.
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.”
