The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has alerted Nigerians to a fraudulent recruitment advert currently circulating on social media.

INEC stressed that it does not operate such a website and is not conducting any recruitment exercise at the moment.
In a strongly worded statement, the Commission urged the public to disregard the advert and avoid falling victim to criminal elements behind the scam.
