The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has sounded a clear alarm against the activities of criminals deceiving unsuspecting Nigerians with fake job offers.
In a detailed statement released in Abuja on Monday, Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, revealed that fraudsters now impersonate FRSC personnel to lure and defraud citizens.
“The Corps has observed with grave concern the increasing activities of fraudulent individuals, including some posing as staff of the Corps, who extort unsuspecting members of the public with false promises of securing them employment,” the FRSC noted.
The statement explained that scammers even issue forged call-up letters directing victims to training schools and the FRSC Academy, deepening the scale of the deception.
Emphasizing the integrity of its operations, the Corps clarified: “The Corps wishes to categorically state that FRSC recruitment processes are transparent, merit-based, and strictly communicated through national newspapers, television stations, and our official channels.”
Frontpagenews.ng reports that the Corps firmly denied ever authorizing its staff to demand payment for recruitment, stating: “At no time did the Corps mandate its personnel, or representatives to demand money or any form of gratification from applicants in exchange for employment.”
Nigerians were strongly urged to be cautious and report such fraudulent activities immediately. “Members of the public are therefore strongly advised to disregard any such offers and report perpetrators to the nearest FRSC Command, law enforcement agency, or through the Corps’ official communication platforms,” the statement added.
The Corps advised citizens to confirm all recruitment information only from official FRSC sources such as Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, and its website (frsc.gov.ng).
The Corps also assured of its unwavering resolve to sustain transparency, fairness, and accountability in its recruitment process.
