“The NIS wishes to state that no recruitment exercise is currently ongoing. We are working closely with relevant authorities to apprehend those involved in these fraudulent activities and bring them to justice.

“The Service remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity in all its operations. Consequently, the CG urges the general public to remain vigilant and refrain from patronizing fraudulent recruitment schemes.
