The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has disowned a viral notice circulating on social media.

The fake notice directed applicants who were not shortlisted or did not receive invitation messages to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification.

The FRSC issued the warning via its official social media platforms on Sunday in Abuja.

The corps described the notice as fake and unauthorised, urging members of the public, particularly applicants for the 2026 recruitment exercise, to disregard it.

The corps said the fraudulent notice directed affected applicants to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification on or before Sept. 25.

It clarified that no such directive had been issued by the corps and warned applicants against acting on the information.

The corps advised applicants not to report to any FRSC office, camp or training institution based on the circulating message.

It urged members of the public to rely exclusively on official FRSC communication channels for authentic information and updates concerning the 2026 recruitment exercise.

The corps further warned applicants against falling victim to individuals who might seek to exploit the recruitment exercise for fraudulent purposes.

It  advised applicants not to make payments, share personal information or follow links circulated by unauthorised persons claiming to facilitate recruitment into the Corps.

The FRSC said any individual found using the recruitment exercise to deceive or defraud members of the public would be reported to the appropriate law-enforcement authorities.

The corps reiterated its call on members of the public to disregard the fraudulent publication and exercise caution to avoid becoming victims of recruitment scams.

It also advised prospective applicants to verify any recruitment-related information through its recognised and official communication channels before taking any action.(NAN)
