The Federal Road Safety Corps has cautioned Nigerians against falling victim to fraudsters who are extorting job seekers with fake promises of employment in the Corps.

This is contained in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by the Corps Public Education Officer , Assistant Corps Marshal, Olusegun Ogungbemide and shared on X.

The Corps said it had “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.”

According to the statement, the scammers “go as far as issuing fake call-up letters to training schools and the FRSC Academy in a desperate attempt to deceive innocent job seekers and defraud them of their hard-earned money.”

The FRSC stressed that its recruitment process remains transparent and merit-based. “The Corps wishes to categorically state that FRSC recruitment processes are transparent, merit based, and strictly communicated through national newspapers, television stations, and our official channels,” the statement said.
