The Nigerian Embassy and Consulates-General in the US have raised alarm over a fake website for passport application.
This is contained in a notice jointly issued by the Embassy of Nigeria in Washington, DC, the Consulate-General of Nigeria in New York and the Consulate-General of Nigeria in Atlanta.
The missions warned Nigerians against using unauthorised websites and the need for them to seek proper guidance on passport applications.
They also warned that the fake website was defrauding unsuspecting Nigerians by directing them to make payments, which are unauthorised by the missions.
The missions advised applicants outside Nigeria to apply through the official websites of the respective embassies and consulates where they intend to process their passports.
In addition, the Consulate-General advised all passport applicants to channel their enquiries to the consulate through the right place.
