NAF Alerts On Fraudsters Posing As Personnel Recruitment Agents

The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, has alerted the general public on the unabated activities of some unscrupulous and fraudulent individuals masquerading as NAF recruitment agents.

Describing the activities of the fraudsters, the NAF, through its Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said the agents fraudulently extort money from unsuspecting Nigerians under the guise of recruiting them into the NAF.

They also go the extra length to perpetrate their nefarious activities by setting up fake websites, Facebook accounts and WhatsApp groups to lure unsuspecting applicants.

Some of the existing fake platforms set up to swindle these applicants included but not limited to the following: “Nigeria Gallant Airforce”(WhatsApp/Facebook accounts), “Nigerian Air Force 2021/2022 recruitment” with account name, ‘Ntugba God’s Time,'(Facebook account) and account details: Ecobank, 396001097.

The NAF notes, sadly, that many people still allow themselves to be swindled by these crooked individuals on a yearly basis in spite of series of repeated warnings and spirited efforts by the NAF over the years, to enlighten the public about the nefarious activities of these fraudsters.

“In view of the foregoing, the NAF wishes to reiterate that recruitment and selection process into the NAF is absolutely FREE without any form of gratification or payment into any bank accounts.

“Additionally, the NAF does not engage any agents for recruitment and therefore, anyone who claims to be operating in such capacity on behalf of the NAF is a fraudster and should be reported to the nearest NAF Unit, The Nigeria Police Force or any other security agencies”, the statement read.
