NDLEA cautions against scammers, says no fresh recruitment exercise

THE National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has warned Nigerians to be wary of the activities of scammers.

It said Nigeria’s teeming unemployed youth who need jobs shouldn’t be desperate about it so that their plight will not be compounded by some unscrupulous elements.

The agency said its attention has been drawn to the activities of scammers who have created a fake NDLEA recruitment portal which they used to extort money from unsuspecting members of the public.

The agency said in a statement by its Deputy Commander of Narcotics (DCN)/Principal Staff Officer, Public Affairs, Jonah Achema, that, “NDLEA wishes to inform the general public that there is no fresh recruitment exercise going on and that it is yet to resume the screening exercise suspended recently in order to comply with the requirements of Presidential Task Force on  Covid-19.

“Members of the public are warned to be wary of the activities of these scammers. All prospective applicants will be duly communicated once the screening exercise resumes.

“It is also important to note that NDLEA would not ask for any fee from any applicant.”
