The Bauchi State Government, through the State Civil Service Commission, has warned the public against fake employment offers, stressing that jobs in the state civil service are not for sale.

The warning followed the arrest of one Saleem Alhassan, popularly known as “Jagaban Ningi,” by the Bauchi State Police Command over alleged forgery and related offences.

This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the Information Officer in the Office of the Head of Civil Service, Bauchi, Awwal Waziri.

According to Waziri, the advisory became necessary due to the activities of fraudsters circulating counterfeit appointment letters to unsuspecting residents.

“The Office of the Head of Civil Service in Bauchi State has issued a public advisory warning residents against fake appointment letters, following the arrest of one Saleem Alhassan, alias ‘Jagaban Ningi,’ by the Bauchi State Police Command,” the statement read.
