The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says a viral social media message claiming it is conducting “secret recruitment” is false. According to multiple Nigerian outlets, the EFCC issues its clarification on Monday through its verified X (Twitter) account. The commission urges the public not to believe, follow, or share the misleading post, warning that it may be linked to scams and other misinformation.
In its responses, the EFCC directly debunks the allegation of clandestine hiring and emphasizes that any legitimate recruitment would be communicated through official channels. The commission’s warnings focus on verifying any recruitment-related information before acting on it. The outlets report that EFCC also shares a graphic associated with the denial as part of its public clarification.
Overall, the reporting agrees that the EFCC has publicly rejected the circulating claim of secret recruitment and is advising Nigerians to ignore the viral content and rely on official EFCC communications for any recruitment updates.
