In a bid to protect aspiring candidates from falling victim to fraudulent recruitment schemes, the Nigerian Army has issued a stern warning against a fake online recruitment portal claiming to offer job opportunities within the Army.
Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, emphasized the importance of vigilance and urged job seekers to disregard the misleading reports.
The Army’s official statement addressed the alarming proliferation of false online recruitment information, specifically targeting the Nigerian Army Direct Short Service (DSS) Recruitment Portal for the year 2023.
The Army made it clear that the fraudulent online publication was a deliberate attempt by unscrupulous individuals to deceive the public.
Recognizing the potential harm and confusion caused by such deceit, the Army labeled the fake Direct Short Service Portal 2023 as a scam and urged individuals to steer clear of it.
To combat this fraudulent activity, the Nigerian Army has already initiated measures to apprehend those responsible for the misleading portal.
Members of the public were encouraged to report any suspicious recruitment portals or activities to the Army.
The Nigerian Army stressed that the official channels for recruitment information are its official website (https://army.mil.ng) and verified social media platforms, including Twitter (@HQNigerianArmy), Facebook (HQ Nigerian Army), and Instagram (HQ Nigerian Army).
