CITIZENS COMPASS—The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has in a statement made available to the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP), warned the general public of scammers posing as its staff to defraud members of the public.
The statement signed by the Corps’ Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, observed that the fraudsters “go as far as issuing fake call-up letters to training schools and the FRSC Academy in a desperate attempt to deceive innocent job seekers and defraud them of their hard earned money.”
The Corps therefore, advised the public “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 in full:
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) 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 in the Corps. These scammers go as far as issuing fake call-up letters to training schools and the FRSC Academy in a desperate attempt to deceive innocent job seekers and defraud them of their hard earned money.
Consequent upon the foregoing, 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. 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.
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.
To this end, the Corps wishes to reiterate its resolve to uphold integrity, fairness, and transparency in all recruitment exercises. Nigerians are urged to remain vigilant, verify all information from official FRSC sources.
