The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has disowned a viral notice directing applicants who were not shortlisted or did not receive invitation messages for its 2026 recruitment exercise to report to FRSC camps for verification.

The Corps described the notice as fake and unauthorised, warning applicants and members of the public against falling victim to recruitment fraudsters.

In a statement shared on its official X account on Sunday, the FRSC said the fraudulent notice instructed affected applicants to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification on or before September 25, 2026.

The Corps said the publication should be completely disregarded.“The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has categorically disowned a viral notice circulating on social media directing applicants who were not shortlisted or did not receive invitation messages to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification on or before 25 September 2026.

The notice is fake, unauthorised and should be disregarded.”The FRSC further clarified that it had not issued any directive asking unsuccessful or uninvited applicants to report to its offices, camps or training institutions for verification.

The Corps urged applicants to rely only on its official communication channels for updates concerning the 2026 recruitment exercise.

FRSC recruitment scam warningThe road safety agency also warned applicants against making payments, sharing sensitive personal information or clicking links circulated by individuals claiming to have connections with the recruitment process.

It said anyone found using the recruitment exercise to defraud members of the public would be reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

The FRSC commenced its 2026 nationwide recruitment exercise in July, seeking qualified Nigerians for positions across three major cadres.

These include the Officer Cadre, comprising roles such as Superintendent Route Commander, Route Commander/Deputy Route Commander and Assistant Route Commander; the Marshal Inspectorate Cadre; and the Road Marshal Assistant Cadre.

The recruitment portal currently indicates that applications are closed, while existing applicants are expected to be contacted regarding subsequent stages of the process.

The Corps therefore advised applicants to disregard the viral verification notice and avoid dealing with unauthorised individuals claiming to facilitate their recruitment.
