The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has reacted to a letter in circulation about a recruitment exercise it is allegedly conducting.

In a statement issued on Twitter, the electoral body dissociated itself from the letter and warned the public that it is not conducting any recruitment

The statement read in part: “Our attention has been drawn to the circulation of purported letters of employment/appointment.”

INEC advised the members who have been affected by the letter it described as a scam to report to appropriate authorities.

“Members of the public are hereby advised/warned that the commission suspended its recruitment programme in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the statement added.

The electoral body recently announced that the coming elections in Ondo and Edo States will still take place despite the coronavirus pandemic.
