The Nigerian Army warns the public about a fraudulent recruitment advertisement circulating on social media and other online platforms. According to a statement issued by the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Appolonia Anele, the advert claims to invite applications for the Short Service Combatant Commission (SSCC) Course 50/2027, but the Army says it is false and does not originate from the Nigerian Army or its approved recruitment processes.
The Army urges Nigerians to disregard and report the misleading advertisement. Both outlets report that the Army’s position is that anyone responding to the advert could be misled by scammers, as the content is not part of official recruitment. The warning is presented as a public safety measure to prevent exploitation during recruitment periods.
Overall, the reports agree that the advert is a scam and that the Nigerian Army is not announcing SSCC Course 50/2027 applications through the channels used by the fake poster.
