Caveat: Civil Defence Corps is not recruiting

The Management of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have expressed concern over the messages in circulation via the social media requesting persons to submit application letters and curriculum vitae at NSCDC offices.

While reacting to the development in Abuja, on Friday, the NSCDC Commandant General, Ade Abolurin said the information was false.

“The Corps wishes to state emphatically that it has not mandated the issuance of such information and the message does not emanate from its office and thus should be disregarded by the general public.”

According to the Commandant General, the Corps recruitment process does not involve sending of messages via blackberry and internet publication.

“When the Corps is to recruit, advertisement will be placed on Nigerian daily newspapers for all interested applicants to see the processes involved.”

He said the Corps at the moment has not received any mandate to recruit.

“It is rather an attempt by mischief makers and fraudsters to rob desperate and job-seeking Nigerian of their money”, he insisted.

The Corps warned applicants to be careful on how they go about seeking for jobs so as not to fall victim to circumstances.

“This new dimension of employment scams is just another trick as people are getting wiser and more informed about websites and internet fraud.”

Mr Abolurin said job seekers should be sceptical of messages stating that their names have either been shortlisted for an appointment into the Corps and or shortlisted for an appointment by the President.

“The fraudsters in their messages always claimed that it is from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation with phone numbers for contact.”

He assured that modalities have been put in place to track down all those behind the fraudulent messages aiming at defrauding Nigerian.
