While distancing itself from an online recruitment portal, the Nigerian Army (NA) has disclosed that it is currently not recruiting.
It said that it has been notified of a fake online recruitment portal being circulated on the social media and other online platforms fraudulently advertising recruitment of candidates into NA 83 Regular Recruit Intake.
A statement issued on Thursday by the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, and made available to Security Watch Africa (SWA) said the fake online portal is the handwork of scammers.
The statement said “Following this unwholesome development, the NA wishes to clearly inform the general public that there is no ongoing recruitment, as published in the fake portal.
“The information is false, misleading and aimed at defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
“The general public is therefore enjoined to be weary of fake online recruitment vendors who are desperately hunting for victims.
“The general public should please note that Recruitment advertisements placed by the NA are usually published in national dailies,” it added.
The statement advised members of the public to shun the portal in its entirety.
It gave the link of the fake portal in circulation as: https://recruitment.army.mil.ng/darrr.
