Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has raised alarm over fake and invalid employment letters making rounds allegedly issued by the service.
Gatekeepers News reports that NIS made this known through a statement issued and signed by its Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo on Thursday in Abuja.
NIS urged desperate job seekers to exercise caution so as not to fall victim to the fraudsters.
Udo said that the fraudulent letters falsely claim that the recipients have been offered employment with the NIS.
He said, “The Service categorically denies any involvement in this fraudulent scheme and refutes the misinformation being spread on social media platforms regarding an ongoing recruitment/replacement exercise.”
“The NIS shall continue to ensure that any unscrupulous elements engaging in this criminality will be made to face the wrath of the law.”
“The public is hereby advised to report these scammers to the nearest NIS office or law enforcement agencies.”
“The Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment exercise is exclusively advertised through reputable national dailies, television broadcasts, and our official website, http://www.immigration.gov.ng.”
Udo added that the Service is committed to safeguarding the interest of Nigerians and upholding the integrity of its recruitment processes.
