Nigeria Immigration Service Warns Against Recruitment Scam, Others

By Ezekiel Enejeta
Nigeria Immigration Service has warned prospective job applicants into the service against the activities of fraudsters especially on social who clone facebook accounts of the NIS in order to perpetuate job racketeering.

NIS Service Public Relations Officer, ACI Sunday James in a disclaimer notice cautioned the public to be weary of such tactics.

According to the customs image maker; “The attention of the Comptroller General of Immigration Service, CGI Muhammad Babandede MFR has been drawn to the existence of several Facebook accounts bearing his name and photograph purportedly being operated by him”.
“The said Facebook accounts interact with the public under the guise of CGI Muhammad Babandede MFR and often times, make bogus pledges to unsuspecting Facebook “friends” of “replacement/recruitment slots” into the Nigeria Immigration Service”.
“The CGI wishes to categorically state that he neither owns nor operates a Facebook account”.
“In the light of the above, the CGI hereby disassociate himself from such Facebook accounts and calls on the public to disregard any as it is the handiwork of impostors/fraudsters who may want to use it to defraud unsuspecting members of the public”.
“He also wish to inform the general public that the NIS management operates an open door policy and that anyone who wishes to access facilities or make any enquiries at the NIS can go to the nearest NIS formation or better still like our Facebook page on www.facebook.com/immigration service.nigeria and follow us on our Twitter handle @nigimmigration”.
Attached in below in the report is a memo disclaiming any purported recruitment currently going on at the NIS.
