FRSC Alerts Nigerians to Fake Recruitment Syndicates

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has raised alarm over the activities of fraudsters impersonating its officials to extort money from unsuspecting job seekers.

In a statement made available to the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP), the Corps’ Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, disclosed that the scammers issue fake call-up letters to training schools and the FRSC Academy in a desperate bid to deceive applicants.

“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,” Ogungbemide said.

He stressed that FRSC recruitment processes are transparent, merit-based, and strictly communicated through national newspapers, television stations, and official platforms. At no point, he added, are applicants required to pay money or offer gratifications for employment opportunities.

The Corps therefore advised Nigerians to disregard any suspicious recruitment offers and to promptly report such perpetrators to the nearest FRSC Command, law enforcement agencies, or through official communication channels.

Reiterating its commitment to integrity and transparency, FRSC urged members of the public to remain vigilant, verify all information from its official sources — including www.frsc.gov.ng, and its verified social media handles — and resist the temptation of patronising fraudsters.
