Naija News reports that in a statement released on Saturday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through its spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa, the government said the message falsely claims that there are job openings in the Nigerian Diplomatic Service, especially within the consular units of embassies abroad.
The ministry explained that the message also tells recipients that some candidates have already been selected and asks them to pay money for the processing of a document referred to as a “credence note.” It described this claim as untrue and part of a plan by fraudsters to exploit unsuspecting individuals.
