There is a circulating claim that EFCC recruitment is ongoing. However, this is not true. The commission has also come out to deny the claim, calling it fake.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission posted the image on its official social media pages and clearly captioned it “Beware.” The commission also placed a bold “Fake” watermark on the image to warn Nigerians against falling for the misleading information.
The fake notice claims that “EFCC Recruitment 2026 is now open” and lists several eligibility requirements, including Nigerian citizenship, age between 18 and 35 years, possession of NECO or WAEC credits, and good character, medical fitness, and readiness to serve. It further states that applications are strictly online through the EFCC website and advises applicants to avoid agents and making payments.
EFCC has clarified that it did not release the recruitment notice and that no recruitment exercise is currently ongoing. The commission urged the public to ignore the circulating post and avoid sharing it further.
Interested applicants are urged to only rely on official updates released through EFCC’s verified platforms and channels to avoid scams and misinformation.
