The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has dismissed a viral social media claim alleging that it is secretly recruiting personnel, describing the information as false.
In a post shared on its official X account on Monday, the anti-graft agency warned members of the public against falling for the misinformation.
The post featured a graphic boldly labelled, “FAKE NEWS” and “THIS IS FALSE NEWS. BEWARE!”
The false claim being circulated read, “Disturb your godfather ooo. EFCC is secretly recruiting. They are probably reporting for training next month,” alongside a prompt encouraging users to send anonymous messages.
