The Nigerian Army (NA) has lamented widespread fake online recruitment information and warned Nigerians to be wary of fraudsters.
The Director, Army Public Relations Brig-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu spoke about a fake online recruitment on the Nigerian Army Direct Short Service (DSS) Recruitment Portal for the year 2023.
He said the false online publication is a deliberate fraudulent effort by some unscrupulous persons to mislead the public.
He stated that the fake online Direct Short Service Portal 2023, “is a scam and should be clearly avoided”.
“The NA has already set measures in motion to apprehend those behind the fraudulent portal,” he said.
General Nwachukwu therefore, urged members of the public to report any suspicious recruitment portal or activities to the NA.
He restated that the Nigerian Army remains committed to ensuring a transparent and credible recruitment process through the NA’s established official channels of communication.
“These channels include, the official Nigerian Army website and social media platforms Twitter @HQNigerianArmyFacebook
HQ Nigerian Army and other reputable media outlets. It is important to rely on these official sources for accurate and up-to-date information, rather than fall victim of fake recruitment online advertisements. Fake recruitment advertisements will inevitably mislead potential candidates and expose them to the vagaries of fraudulent activities of scammers,” he said.
