A notice of caution has been issued by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to the public, stating that job scammers are on the prowl, taking advantage of the agency’s recently concluded screening exercise.
Disclosing this was the spokesperson for the agency, Femi Babfemi, who said that the public should ignore any call for recruitment into the NDLEA, as it was not recruiting into any cadre.
Babafemi assured that the scammers would be brought to book in due time, as investigations were ongoing.
He said, “While the NDLEA is presently investigating telephone/bank account numbers linked to members of the job scam syndicate, intelligence gathered by the agency shows that some criminal elements at the receiving end of the ongoing offensive action by the NDLEA are in the process of using the activities of the job scam syndicate as an instrument of blackmail against the agency and/or its officials using pliable online platforms.

We have just recently concluded the screening exercise for those whose employment process started in 2019.
