The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has said it is not recruiting, warning Nigerians against fraudulent people who are out to scam them through a phony recruitment exercise.
A statement on Tuesday signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Service, Francis Enobore read: “It has come to the notice of the management of Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) that some unscrupulous elements are scamming unsuspected members of the public by purporting to be conducting recruitment exercise on its behalf.
“The Service wishes to categorically state that there is no recruitment exercise currently ongoing and that no agent(s), syndicate(s) or private individuals have been engaged to carryout recruitment exercise on its behalf.”
Enobore explained that: “Recruitment into the Service, when vacancy exists, is usually advertised for qualified candidates to indicate their interest online.”
He added that: “The exercise is always free and does not involve any financial inducement.”
He said: “Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard entreaties from such groups/individuals whose interest it is to defraud unsuspecting individuals.”
