  "account": "The Federal Road Safety Corps has dismissed a false recruitment notice circulating online, warning potential applicants against taking any action based on the message. In a statement on its X account, FRSC described the notice as unauthorized and instructed individuals not to report to any FRSC camp or office in response. The notice, which falsely suggested that those not shortlisted or who did not receive invitation emails should attend a camp for verification by September 25, 2026, was categorically denied by the Corps. FRSC emphasized that it had not issued such a directive and urged applicants to rely solely on official communication channels regarding the 2026 recruitment exercise. The Corps also cautioned against sharing personal information, making payments, or following links from unverified sources, emphasizing that any fraudulent activities related to the recruitment would be reported to law enforcement authorities.",
