Fraudsters on the Prowl- Nigerian Army Warns

The attention of Depot Nigerian Army has been drawn to the activities of some unscrupulous persons parading themselves as agents of Depot Nigerian Army to defraud members of the public.

These individuals fraudulently extort money from unsuspecting members of the public who are desperately ready to enlist into the Nigerian army.

Investigation reveals that the fraudsters promise their victims to replace recruits found with credentials and bank verification number (BVN) irregularity with their names.

In view of the aforementioned, it is imperative to once again alert members of the public that Depot Nigerian Army does not have agents for recruitment and such arrangement does not exist in the revered army training institution.

At the moment, recruitment exercise has since been concluded for 78 Regular Recruits Intake who are presently on training.

Headquarters Depot Nigerian Army is therefore using this medium to call on the general public to shun these unscrupulous individuals and report same to the nearest security agencies when noticed. Meanwhile, efforts are in progress to nab the fraudsters for proper investigation and prosecution.
