The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has issued a warning to the public regarding false content currently circulating on social media that falsely claims to originate from the Service. In a statement, the NCS clarified that these messages are completely untrue and did not come from any official NCS source.

The Service urged members of the public to disregard the misleading content and to rely only on official NCS communication channels for accurate information. Verified platforms for updates include the Service’s Facebook page, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, X account, and official website.

The NCS emphasized that the proliferation of fake messages can mislead citizens, particularly in matters related to recruitment, auctions, policy updates, or other official operations. The Service cautioned against responding to such messages, sharing personal information, or making payments based on unverified claims.

Authorities highlighted that all genuine announcements and communications from the NCS are published solely through its verified channels. The public was urged to verify any information received before taking action and to report suspicious messages to the Service to prevent fraud and misinformation.

This alert underscores the ongoing effort by the Nigeria Customs Service to protect citizens from scams and to ensure that all stakeholders receive reliable, factual information regarding customs operations, policies, and public announcements.
