An aptitude test, scheduled to be conducted for intending applicants for employment into the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps next Monday is fake after all.

The leadership of the Civil Organization clarified on Thursday that it has nothing to do with the recruitment exercise.

This was contained in a statement in Abuja by Director of Public Relations of NSCDC, Mr Olusola Odumosu.

The statement reads “The attention of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has been drawn to an erroneously crafted message to applicants about the recently advertised NSCDC 2022 recruitment exercise circulating in the media, various social media platforms and WhatsApp groups.

“The message, in part, states that, ‘The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) wishes to inform the general public that the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) for recruitment into the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) will hold on the 8th of January, 2023 in the 36 States of the federation and FCT.’

“Nigeria Civil Defence (NSCDC) Update on CBT Exams Date, Venue and Time

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), on Friday, advised all shortlisted candidates for the CDCFIB Computer-Based Aptitude Test to start checking their email addresses/phones for their Exam Centres notifications as from midday.”

“The NSCDC wishes to state clearly and categorically that this message is fake, misleading and a calculated attempt by fraudsters and cyber criminals to take advantage of recruitment process.

“This is in order to extort unsuspecting applicants of their monies by causing panic and creating unnecessary tension with the said write up.

“Members of the public and desperate job seekers are hereby warned not to fall victims of Extortions and Job Scams through a grandiose attempt by job racketeers to misinform and confuse them into parting with different sums of money in the name of helping to shortlist them for the Aptitude Test and getting placement in NSCDC .

“NSCDC seizes this window to send a strong warning to those elements behind the fake news, that, the Corps’ cyber experts have been directed by the Commandant General, Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi, mni, OFR, to go after the master minds of this Fake Information  and very soon they will be fished out.

Fraudsters are therefore warned to be ready to face the full wrath of the law if they dont desist from this criminal method of amassing wealth at the expense of desperate job seekers who are vulnerable and can easily fall prey due to their antics and their anxiety to get jobs.

“We enjoined the public to remain calm and patient for the authentic update and information on the recruitment process.

“All updates with regards to the 2022 recruitment exercise would be published officially and made available to the public by the Board in due course.”
