Chairman and Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Brig. General Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) has directed the Agency’s Directorate of Intelligence to track and apprehend fraudsters behind scam messages sent to candidates ready for screening for NDLEA jobs 

The fraudsters had singled out candidates shortlisted for the screening and through text messages, demanded money so as to help them secure employment into the agency.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi advised candidates scheduled for screening as narcotic officers and narcotic assistants in Abuja and Jos from next week and other job seekers not to fall for some scammers sending them messages to demand for payment from them.

Babafemi said shortlisted candidates, other job seekers and the general public should please note that the NDLEA will not ask for payment from anyone seeking to work in the Agency and are therefore urged to discountenance this fraudulent message and similar ones.
