The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has issued a warning to the public to disregard a fake online advertisement claiming that the agency is recruiting Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel.
In a statement signed by Henry Agbebire, Director of Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, FAAN said the fraudulent advert, which circulated online on Thursday, falsely suggested that AVSEC recruitment was ongoing and directed users to a link allegedly associated with the authority.
FAAN clarified that no such recruitment exercise was underway and urged Nigerians not to click on the link or provide personal information to unknown sources.
“The attention of the @FAAN_Official has been drawn to a recruitment advertisement circulating online, claiming that Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel are being recruited through a link purportedly associated with FAAN.
“We wish to categorically state that FAAN is not conducting any AVSEC recruitment at this time. The advertisement in circulation, including the link attached to it, is fake, misleading, and has no connection whatsoever with FAAN,” the statement read in part.
The agency advised members of the public to remain vigilant, report suspicious websites or messages, and rely solely on FAAN’s verified communication channels for accurate information.
