Nigerian Army Warns Against Fake SCC 50/2027 Recruitment Advertisement
The Nigerian Army has cautioned members of the public against a fake and fraudulent advertisement circulating online regarding the Short Service Combatant Course (SCC) 50/2027 recruitment exercise.
In a statement, the Army described the publication as false and the handiwork of fraudsters seeking to deceive unsuspecting applicants. It clarified that no recruitment exercise has been announced for SCC 50/2027 and urged Nigerians to disregard the misleading advertisement.
According to the Army, all official recruitment announcements are published only through its verified communication channels and accredited national newspapers. It warned prospective applicants not to pay money or submit personal information to individuals or websites claiming to facilitate enlistment into the service.
The military emphasized that recruitment into the Nigerian Army is strictly merit-based, transparent, and free of charge, stressing that no agent or third party has been authorized to conduct recruitment or collect application fees on its behalf.
The Army further advised members of the public to verify all recruitment information through its official platforms before taking any action. It also encouraged anyone approached by fraudsters or those who encounter suspicious recruitment advertisements to promptly report such activities to the appropriate security agencies.
Reaffirming its commitment to transparency and professionalism, the Nigerian Army assured Nigerians that details of any genuine recruitment exercise would be officially announced through its verified channels at the appropriate time.
