The Federal Inland Revenue Service has warned Nigerians to discountenance online recruitment adverts credited to the organisation.
The FIRS, in a statement on its website, said that it was....
not undergoing any recruitment for now. A statement published on the FIRS website and which is still running on the FIRS website as of Sunday, read in part,”This is to inform the general public that FIRS is neither recruiting nor replacing unfilled positions within its workforce.
“Anybody submitting his/her CV or applying through any website, responding to sms, texts, any online medium, social media platforms or in whatever form for employment with FIRS, is doing so at his or her own risk.
“Please note that employment into the FIRS, will be advertised in national newspapers as well as on the FIRS website www.firs.gov.ng. Members <http://www.firs.gov.ng. Members> of the public are hereby strongly advised to avoid being deceived or defrauded by unscrupulous and dubious characters, the statement running on the FIRS website for over two months now reads.”
Meanwhile, the FIRS has said it arrested nine suspects in connection with a fake recruitment into the FIRS.
The suspects are being investigated for alleged forgery of documents, impersonation of officials of FIRS and other federal ministries, agencies and banks officials, deceit of members of the public and for soliciting for money for promotion of FIRS officials.
The suspects, who employed a vast network of websites, email addresses, computers, telephone lines and bank accounts in various banks at the Federal Capital Territory, allegedly solicited and received money from members of the public under the pretext that they would be employed by the FIRS.
The suspects, according to the FIRS, also promised others promotion in the tax collection organisation.

Share your thoughts....thanks!
