"The attention of the management of the Nigerian Prisons Service has been drawn to the information making rounds on the Social Media Space, as regards the ongoing recruitment exercise.

"The Nigerian Prisons Service wishes to state unequivocally that the said information which hinges around updates on the recruitment and release of a purported list of successful candidates is false. This information is aimed at defrauding unsuspecting job seekers by fraudsters," he said.

Enobore warned the public to ignore the purported list, insisting that "the Nigerian Prisons Service did not consult any Private or corporate organization, whether through mainstream or social media to facilitate the Recruitment Exercise."

He assured that updates on the recruitment exercise will be duly communicated to members of the public via credible and accessible media in due course.
