The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has disowned a viral recruitment 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.

The Corps, in a statement issued on Sunday, September 20, 2026, described the circulating notice as “fake, unauthorised” and urged applicants and members of the public to disregard it.

The viral notice reportedly directed applicants who were not shortlisted or had not received invitation messages to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification on or before September 25, 2026.

However, FRSC said: “No such directive has been issued by FRSC, and applicants should not report to any FRSC office, camp or training institution on the strength of the circulating message.”

The Corps urged members of the public to rely only on its official communication channels for authentic information concerning the 2026 recruitment exercise.

The agency also warned applicants against making payments or sharing sensitive personal information with individuals claiming to be facilitating the recruitment process.

Applicants were further advised not to follow links circulated by unauthorised persons in connection with the recruitment exercise.

FRSC stated: “Any person found using the FRSC recruitment exercise to deceive or defraud members of the public will be reported to the appropriate law-enforcement authorities.”

The Corps therefore urged members of the public to disregard the fraudulent publication and remain vigilant to avoid falling victim to recruitment scams.

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has cautioned Nigerians about investing in the stock market, saying prospective investors need to understand the realities of the market before committing their money.

Sani gave the warning in a post shared on his X account on Sunday while commenting on the Nigerian stock market and the activities of stockbrokers.

He said stockbrokers could use persuasive language to convince people to invest, after which investors might have to wait for a long period before seeing substantial returns.

Sani wrote: “The Nigerian stock market issues. The stock brokers have ‘sweet mouth’. They will make you believe in magic until you pump in your money.

“When you give them N5M, you can be getting an alert (dividend) of N50k after a long time; if you complain, they will tell you to wait until ‘the market rises’, and remind you ‘it’s a LONG TIME investment.’

“Everything looks like the gambling machine. If you have money to invest, please set up a small factory.”

The former senator’s comments come amid heightened public interest in Nigeria’s capital market following the launch of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Initial Public Offering (IPO).

The Dangote Refinery IPO opened on September 14, 2026, with 4.1 billion shares offered at ₦525 per share.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has advised prospective investors to carefully read the approved prospectus and understand the terms, conditions and risks associated with the investment.

Sani’s Earlier Comments on Dangote IPO

Sani had earlier commented specifically on the Dangote Refinery share offer on September 15, cautioning prospective investors against unrealistic expectations about making quick wealth from shares and stocks.

He urged Nigerians interested in the offer to educate themselves about the realities, risks and fluctuations associated with stock-market investments before committing their money.

According to Sani, while investing could be beneficial, investors needed to understand both the potential gains and the risks involved.

He also warned against the belief that buying shares would automatically make someone a millionaire or billionaire within weeks or months.

“On a serious note, people need to be properly educated or enlightened on the realities and fluctuations of the business of buying shares and stocks,” Sani said.

He added that people with phones should take time to educate themselves about the risks involved in investing and understand “both sides” of the investment.

Sani also made a humorous reference to prospective Dangote Refinery shareholders, asking: “So, those who will buy N100k worth of shares from Dangote Refinery will soon be saying ‘Our Refinery’?”

His latest Sunday remarks therefore follow his earlier warning on the Dangote share offer, although his latest post did not specifically mention Dangote Refinery.

The newly redeployed State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Niger State Command, Commandant Abdulhamid Salisu Kabara, has assumed duty and taken over the leadership of the command.

Kabara stressed that while the NSCDC remains committed to its statutory responsibilities, including arrest, investigation, enforcement and the fight against illegal mining, the sanctity of human life must remain paramount.
