The Nigerian Army has warned Nigerians against the activities of internet fraudsters, who are bent on defrauding unsuspecting persons through frivolous recruitment adverts into the Army 83 Regular Recruit intake.
The warning, which was contained in a statement issued by the Force’s Director of Public Relations, Brig. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu on Thursday, described the advert as false, misleading and aimed at defrauding unsuspecting members of the public while adding that members of the public should disregard such dubious adverts.
It also stated that the recruitment adverts placed by the Nigerian Army are usually published in National dailies.

The statement reads, “The Nigerian Army (NA) has been notified of a fake online recruitment portal being circulated on the social media and other online platforms fraudulently advertising recruitment of candidates into NA 83 Regular Recruit Intake.
“Following this unwholesome development, the NA wishes to clearly inform the general public that there is no ongoing recruitment, as published in the fake portal. The information is false, misleading and aimed at defrauding unsuspecting members of the public. The general public is therefore enjoined to be weary of fake online recruitment vendors who are desperately hunting for victims.
“The general public should please note that Recruitment advertisements placed by the NA are usually published in national dailies.
“We advise members of the public to shun the portal in its entirety.
“The link to the fake portal in circulation is:
