“For the umpteenth time, the Commission reiterates earlier pronouncements that the agency is currently not recruiting.

“Any publication or advertorial to the contrary, in the social or mainstream media, can only be the handiwork of scammers,” the statement read

The agency advised the public to be circumspect to avoid being ensnared by fraudsters.

It added that employment into the EFCC was not an under-the-table affair, as such exercise was usually preceded by elaborate advertorial in the media and Commission’s social media platforms.

“The public is also to treat with caution, fraud alert messages on WhatsApp, ascribed to the EFCC Help Desk Headquarters Jabi, Abuja.

“Such messages are not from the EFCC as the Commission has no ‘Help Desk’,” the statement added.
