The Nigerian Army (NA) has dismissed the advertisement going rampant on sites and social media as fake and described it as a fraudulent act by these individuals claiming to be conducting recruitment on behalf of the Nigerian Army, Navy, and Air Force. 

This is revealed via a statement by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, on Friday, 1st September 2023 in Abuja.

Nwachukwu said the fake recruitment was done by dubious individuals in the name of one Maj.-Gen. Gwabin Musa.

He said, “It was published on Facebook and other social media platforms, where the said individual offered to assist 20 interested persons with any of the services”.

Nwachukwu said the impostor was not in any way associated with the Nigerian army or any of the services of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

The spokesman said “the army does not conduct recruitment by proxy or through unofficial channels and individuals.

He emphasised the fact that the army conducts its recruitment in line with its policy and guidelines on recruitment, as enshrined in the Harmonised Terms and Conditions Service Soldiers, Rating and Airmen Revised 2017 Edition.
