The Ghana Immigration Service is warning citizens to be cautious of fraudsters claiming to provide protocol recruiting opportunities.
The Immigration Service said in a statement on Wednesday that individuals who have already begun the recruitment process should disregard text messages instructing them to report to the Immigration Service Academy for training, noting that some fraudsters on social media are directing people to pay large sums of money in exchange for placement in the Immigration Service.
It said that it has not yet published the final list of individuals who have passed the aptitude exam and are slated to go on to the next step of the recruitment procedure.
“The Ghana Immigration Service congratulates all applicants who qualified and partook in the Aptitude Test stage of the ongoing Enlistment. All such applicants are hereby cautioned that the Service is yet to publish the final list of successful candidates for the next stage… Applicants are therefore to ignore any message directing them to report to the Immigration Service Academy and Training School to begin training, including reports that the Service is issuing admission letters or conducting a medical examination. They should be mindful of fraudsters on social media directing them to pay various sums of monies for special protocol placement Into the GIS, and report all such persons to the Police,” it said.
The Immigration Service noted that its enlisting procedure is fair and transparent and that all candidates are given an equal chance regardless of their ‘protocol’ status.
“The Service would like to assure applicants and the general public that the recruitment process is fair and transparent, giving equal opportunity to all applicants to be considered for placement into the GIS,” it added.
Thousands of youth gathered last month at Accra’s El-Wak Sports Stadium and Kumasi’s Babayara Sports Stadium to participate in selection procedures for the Ghana Immigration Service.
Simultaneously, the drill was placed at several locations around the nation. The recruiting exercise is the second stage of the procedure.
At this stage, the applicants’ bodies were physically screened for abnormalities, tattoos, and scars.
At this level, the candidates’ documents were also reviewed and validated.
