The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Nigeria has taken to its official X platform to alert citizens about a misleading website that falsely claims to be recruiting ad-hoc staff for the 2026 general elections. The Commission described this website as fraudulent and advised the public to avoid engaging with it, making it clear that they did not authorize or create the link currently circulating. INEC specifically stated the compromised link to inform the general public, asserting that any communication about recruitment should come directly through its official channels to ensure accuracy and safety. It stressed that the unauthorized website could pose a risk to users who may inadvertently provide sensitive personal information. The Commission reiterated its commitment to transparency and safety and urged the public to adhere to official announcements for recruitment processes, ensuring that they only interact with genuine communication from the electoral body. This warning serves as a precautionary measure to protect the public from potential scams designed to exploit citizens during a critical period leading up to the elections.
