The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Lt.-Col. Appolonia Anele, made this known in a statement on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

She urged members of the public to disregard the fake advertisement.

Anele stated that the public would be duly informed through official channels whenever such recruitment exercises were scheduled to begin.

The army spokesperson noted: “The Nigerian Army warns all to be cautious and avoid falling prey to fraudsters who exploit such fake information to deceive and defraud unsuspecting individuals.

“Anyone with information about such fraudulent activities or individuals should promptly report to the appropriate authorities for necessary action.”
