Army warns Nigerians against fake DSSC recruitment advert

The Nigerian Army has warned the public to disregard a recruitment advertisement circulating on social media, claiming that the “Direct Short Service Course (DSSC) 29 Application Form 2026” is available.

The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Appolonia Anele, gave the warning via a statement issued on Friday, December 26, 2025.

Anele described the advert as fake, false, and misleading, stressing that the recruitment or commissioning exercise for the DSSC or Short Service Commission (SSC) has not commenced.

Anele assured that all legitimate recruitment exercises are publicised only through official channels, including the Nigerian Army website, verified social media accounts, and national newspapers.

She also reminded the public that no fees are required for recruitment.

Anele urged Nigerians to be vigilant and report any information on fraudulent activities to the nearest security agency or appropriate authorities.
