FRSC Disowns Viral Fake Recruitment Notice, Warns Against Fraudsters

The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has dismissed a viral notice directing applicants who were not shortlisted or did not receive invitation messages for the 2026 recruitment exercise to report to FRSC camps for verification.

The Corps described the circulating notice as fake and unauthorised, warning applicants and members of the public not to act on it.

According to the FRSC, the fraudulent notice directed affected applicants to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification on or before September 25, 2026.

The agency said it had not issued such directive and advised applicants not to visit any FRSC office, camp or training institution based on the information contained in the viral publication.

The Corps urged applicants to rely on its official communication channels at all times for accurate information concerning the recruitment exercise.

The warning comes as the FRSC continues its 2026 nationwide recruitment exercise, which began in July and covers three cadres: Officer Cadre, Marshal Inspectorate Cadre and Road Marshal Assistant Cadre.

The FRSC advised applicants not to make payments, disclose sensitive personal information or follow links circulated by unauthorised individuals claiming to facilitate recruitment or verification.

The Corps also warned that anyone found using the recruitment exercise to deceive or defraud members of the public would be reported to the appropriate law-enforcement authorities.

The agency stressed that official announcements concerning recruitment would be communicated through its authorised channels and applicants should verify any information before taking action.

The FRSC had previously clarified that candidates who passed screening and interview stages and were invited to designated training schools or the FRSC Academy had not yet been appointed.

It explained that such candidates must still complete prescribed training, screening, regimentation and other mandatory processes before they can be considered for appointment.

With recruitment scams common online, the FRSC urged applicants to exercise caution and avoid individuals promising employment in exchange for money.

The Corps said it would continue to provide updates as the exercise progresses and encouraged applicants to disregard unverified publications circulating on social media.

It further appealed to members of the public to help prevent fraud by avoiding the sharing or amplification of false recruitment information.
