It said reports available to the Service suggested that the criminal elements were operating in various locations across the country.
The service, therefore, through this medium, caution parents, guardians, candidates and the general public to avoid being defrauded, saying nobody was mandated, directed or authorised to collect money from any candidate in the course of the 2016 recruitment exercise.
