The Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Martins Kure Abeshi, has reacted to the purported recruitment into the service. Abeshi said in a statement that no such recruitment exercise is ongoing.

The statement said: “The attention of the Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Martins Kure Abeshi has been drawn to the fact that some faceless individuals are deceiving unsuspecting members of the public with promises of job placement into the Nigeria Immigration Service.

“It has therefore, become imperative to state categorically that the Nigeria Immigration Service is not engaged in any recruitment exercise. Members of the public are hereby advised to ignore any offer of employment as such activity remains the handiwork of fraudsters who are out to deceive unsuspecting members of the public with the aim of swindling them of their hard earned money,” it said.

It noted that the NIS had a duty to advertise any recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Immigration Service in line with the extant laws.
