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.
