The Nigerian Army has denied offering to recruit Nigerians via the social media.
The position of the Army is premised on the activities of a fraudulent syndicate that has placed fake adverts to deceive unsuspecting members of the public on alleged commissioning into the Nigerian Army.
In a statement by its spokesman, Brigadier General Sani Usman, the Army said: “The group specifically used Facebook and other Social Media platforms to entice interested persons and thereafter solicited for token payments into a certain bank account.
“The public is please requested to disregard such advertisements on the Social Media as the Nigerian Army is not recruiting at this moment.
“Members of the public are please enjoined to report such fraudulent groups to the nearest security agency or better still, contact the information Nigerian Army Call Centre on 193 using any of the networks.”
