The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Wednesday, appealed to applicants to disregard the current recruitment portal in circulation.
Sunrise.ng recalls that INEC, in September 2022, announced a portal for the recruitment of ad-hoc staff for the 2023 general elections; it said its ad hoc recruitment exercise is free of charge and no payment of any kind is required throughout the process.
However, in a notice on Wednesday, the commission urged applicants to disregard ‘inecnigeria.govservice.site’ as it’s fake, adding that its original links remain pres.inecnigeria.org and inecpress-app.com/pres.
“Our attention has been drawn to a fake ad hoc recruitment link being circulated on various social media platforms, frequently visited sites and blogs to defraud unsuspecting citizens,” it said.
The commission, therefore, implored Nigerians to disregard the fake link and avoid falling victim to swindlers.
