The Nigerian Navy says a recruitment notice circulating on social media—purportedly announcing the 2026 Batch 39 recruitment exercise—is not official. The service urges the public to disregard information obtained from unauthorised sources.
Across the reports, the Navy attributes the misinformation to a notice that is not issued by the military. Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both cite statements from the Navy’s information directorate, with the Navy warning that the circulating announcement does not reflect an actual recruitment process.
While the outlets provide the same core message—that the notice is fake and “not from us”—they frame it as a public clarification meant to prevent applicants from acting on inaccurate details. No source indicates that the 2026 Batch 39 exercise has been confirmed in the notice being circulated, nor do they provide verified recruitment dates, eligibility criteria, or application procedures beyond the Navy’s call for the public to ignore the online document.
