The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has alerted Nigerians to a fraudulent social media post promoting a purported free portal for correcting National Identification Number (NIN) records.
This is contained in a public advisory on the commission’s X handle on Tuesday.
The commission in the advisory described the message and its accompanying links as a phishing scheme aimed at stealing personal information from unsuspecting members of the public.
It advised Nigerians to disregard the post and avoid clicking on any suspicious links claiming to offer free modification of NIN details.
