CDCFIB warns applicants against fraudsters exploiting recruitment delays

Kindly share this story:

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board has cautioned Nigerians to beware of fraudsters circulating false information about the ongoing 2025 recruitment exercise into the paramilitary services.

The warning was issued in a statement posted on the Board’s official X handle on Wednesday.

“DISCLAIMER!! Beware of fraudsters. The general public should be patient as the Board is making the necessary arrangements for the next stage of the recruitment exercise,” the CDCFIB wrote.

The Board’s advisory comes amid growing frustration among applicants following repeated postponements in the recruitment timeline for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Federal Fire Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, and Nigeria Correctional Service.

Shortlisted candidates had been informed that the recruitment portal would open from December 1–3, 2025, to enable them select screening centres and dates, ahead of physical and document verification earlier scheduled for December 8–12, 2025.

However, on December 1, the CDCFIB announced an indefinite postponement of the portal opening, citing the need for further adjustments.

The delay followed the completion of the Computer-Based Test on November 19, 2025, during which candidates were selected based on merit and federal character guidelines.
