The Nigerian Army (NA) has dissociated itself from an online recruitment information, particularly regarding the Nigerian Army Direct Short Service (DSS) Recruitment Portal for the year 2023.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the Army spokesperson, Brig. Gen Onyema Nwachukwu, said the publication, attributed to the NA, is “a scam and should be clearly avoided”.
While noting the alarming rate of the spread of fake online recruitment information by unscrupulous persons and the damage they could do to the psyche of would-be candidates and the general public, the NA said it has already set measures in motion to apprehend those behind the fraudulent portal.
The NA urged members of the public to report any suspicious recruitment portal or activities to it and to take this refutal cum advisory seriously.
The NA further averred that it will continue to remain committed to ensuring a transparent and credible recruitment process through its established official channels of communication, which it listed to include https://army.mil.ng 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 to fake recruitment online advertisements. Fake recruitment advertisements will inevitably mislead potential candidates and expose them to the vagaries of fraudulent activities of scammers”, the statement said.
