The State security Service, SSS, has called on members of the public to be wary of fraudsters promising them job placement in the organization, as their sole purpose is to defraud them of their hard earned money.
In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, the spokesman of the secret police, Mr. Tony Opuiyo, warned those misinforming the public of an imaginary employment process to desist from the act as it will take every necessary measure to bring them to book.
The statement reads “The attention of the State Security Service (SSS) has once again been drawn to the illegal activities of some fraudulent persons and groups who extort money from unsuspecting members of the public with a promise to employ them into the Service.
"The Service wishes to state for the umpteenth time that it is not currently employing or carrying out any form of exercise in that regard. The public may note that in the event that the Service recruits, it does not charge money for that purpose."
“The public is therefore, advised to be wary of these fraudulent persons and groups whose stock in trade has remained the spread of falsehood and engagement in impersonation. The Service further warns that it will, in accordance with the law, not hesitate to deal decisively with anyone caught in the act of impersonating it."
“While efforts have been sustained at uncovering the network of these fraudsters, the public is enjoined to pass relevant information relating to this to the nearest Service Command.”
