The Nigeria Immigration Service has raised the alarm over fake recruitment online portal  seeking unsuspecting job applicants to apply for some vacancies in the service.

The Comptroller General of the Service Muhammad Babandede has advised members of the public to ignore the online publication as the Service is currently not conducting any recruitment exercise.

A statement made available to DAILYFOCUS NIGERIA on Friday by the service spokesman, Mr. Amos Okpu pointed out that in the said publications, applicants were required to visit a certain website indicated as http://immigrationrecruitment.org/?p=apply-online to apply for job vacancies in the Nigeria Immigration Service.
