The Nigerian Army (NA) has expressed concern about the increasing prevalence of false online recruitment information, specifically pertaining to the Nigerian Army Direct Short Service (DSS) Recruitment Portal for the year 2023.
In a statement issued by Brig Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, caution was issued to the public to be vigilant against falling victim to fraudulent schemes.
The statement emphasized, “The Nigerian Army wishes to clarify that the false online publication is a deliberate and fraudulent attempt by unscrupulous individuals to deceive the public. Given the potential harm that this misleading online information could cause to prospective candidates and the general public, it is essential to emphasize that the purported online Direct Short Service Portal 2023 is a scam and should be unequivocally avoided.
The NA has taken steps to apprehend those responsible for the fraudulent portal.
“To this end, the public is urged to report any suspicious recruitment portal or activities to the NA. The Nigerian Army remains committed to ensuring a transparent and credible recruitment process through its official communication channels.
These channels include the official Nigerian Army website and social media platforms such as https://army.mil.ng, Twitter @HQNigerianArmy, Facebook HQ Nigerian Army, and other reputable media outlets.
It is crucial for individuals to rely on these official sources for accurate and timely information rather than falling prey to fake online recruitment advertisements. Such deceptive advertisements can mislead potential candidates and expose them to the risks associated with fraudulent activities perpetrated by scammers.
Potential candidates are strongly advised to take this refutation and advisory seriously.
