NCS Warns of Fake Social Media Accounts Claiming offers of Customs Jobs, Auctions of Seized Goods
The attention of Nigeria Customs Service has been again drawn to the proliferation of fake social media accounts in the name of Senior Customs Officers purportedly auctioning assorted seized goods and in some cases conducting recruitment exercise into the Service. The miscreants are now advancing their nefarious activities with false testimonies by supposed beneficiaries of auction sales thanking the Customs Public Relations Officer, DC, Joseph Attah and other senior Customs Officers for their “facilitation”.

The Service wishes to categorically state that the fake information circulating in the social media did not emanate from the NCS as social media has never been a platform used for serious things like auction, recruitment or award of contracts in the Service.
Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the purported testimonies via pseudo social media accounts.
For the avoidance of doubt, NCS e-auction official link is app1.trade.gov.ng/eauction
