The National Identity Management Commission has warned Nigerians against a fraudulent social media post claiming that a free NIN correction portal has been opened for data modifications.
In a public advisory issued on Tuesday on its X handle, the commission described the message and its accompanying links as a phishing scam designed to deceive unsuspecting members of the public.
“NIMC warns the public against a fraudulent social media post claiming a free ‘Correction Portal’ is open via malicious links. This is a phishing scam,” the commission said.
NIMC assured citizens that the National Identity Database remains secure and protected from unauthorized access.
