The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has dismissed a message currently circulating on social media, describing it as false and not originating from the agency.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Service said its attention had been drawn to the content being widely shared online and clarified that the claims contained in the message were entirely misleading.
The NCS urged members of the public to disregard the information, stressing that it did not emanate from any of its official channels.
“The claims are false and did not originate from the Service,” the statement said.
The agency advised the public to rely solely on information disseminated through its verified communication platforms to avoid being misled by fake news and misinformation.
To ensure access to accurate and timely information, the NCS directed citizens to follow its official social media accounts and website for updates on its activities, policies, and operations.
The Service reiterated its commitment to transparency and public engagement, urging Nigerians to verify information before sharing it online.
Official NCS communication channels include Facebook (Nigeria Customs Service), Instagram (@customsng), TikTok (@customsng), Threads (@customsng), X (@customsng), and its official website.
The warning comes amid growing concerns over the spread of misinformation on social media platforms and its potential impact on public trust and government institutions.
