The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Lt.-Col. Appolonia Anele
The Nigerian Army has warned the public about a recruitment advertisement circulating online, saying it is fake.
In a statement on Saturday, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Lt.-Col. Appolonia Anele, clarified that the advertisement, which claims the army is recruiting for the Direct Short Service Commission and Short Service Commission, did not originate from the military.
Anele emphasised that no recruitment or commissioning exercise for DSSC or SSC has commenced for the year.
She urged the public to disregard the false notice and rely only on official army communication channels for credible information.
Anele said the public would be duly informed through official channels whenever such recruitment exercises were scheduled to begin.
“The Nigerian Army warns all to be cautious and avoid falling prey to fraudsters, who exploit such fake information to deceive and defraud unsuspecting individuals.
“Anyone with information about such fraudulent activities or individuals should promptly report to the appropriate authorities for necessary action,” Anele advised.
