Mr Muhammed Babandede, the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) Comptroller General said this in a statement in Abuja and signed by the Public Relation Officer of the service; Mr James Sunday.

He said that the service is currently not recruiting anyone and if at all such was going on, then registration would be done on the official website, www.immigration.gov.ng.

He went on to debunk the rumors that the service is not recruiting at the moment and, that public should be aware of fraudsters whom operate the website, www.nisrecruitment.com.ng.

"The attention of the Comptroller General of Immigration, Mr Muhammad Babandede, has been drawn to a fake dedicated website,www.nisrecruitment.com.ng, where unsuspecting members of the public are required to make payment for accessing application forms for recruitment into the Nigeria Immigration Service."

"I wish to state that the service is not recruiting and has not engaged any agent or vendor to do so on its behalf."

"The public is to note that the said website and the application process is fake and entirely the handiwork of fraudsters."

"The service is using this medium to advise the public to disregard the said exercise and to also be wary of such fraudulent adverts as all official correspondence on the service are done through the official website: www.immigration.gov.ng," he said.
