INEC Warns Against Fake Recruitment for 2027 Elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied claims of a recruitment notice for ad-hoc staff for the 2027 General Election, stating that a fake online message is circulating that misleads prospective applicants to a non-official recruitment website. INEC emphasized that the information did not originate from the commission and warned the public against engaging with the fraudulent website.

In a statement released on Monday, INEC urged Nigerians not to click on the link, submit personal information, upload documents, or make any payments through the platform. The commission reiterated that all official recruitment and election-related announcements are made through its verified communication channels and official websites.

INEC has previously alerted the public about similar fraudulent activities and advised them to disregard the fake recruitment notice. The commission concluded by urging Nigerians to verify information before responding to online recruitment notices to ensure their safety.
