The Nigerian Army (NA) has expressed concern over what it termed as the proliferation of fraudulent information pertaining to the Nigerian Army Direct Short Service (DSS) Recruitment Portal for the year 2023 circulating online. This misleading information is a deliberate attempt by unscrupulous individuals to deceive the public.

According to the Army Spokesman Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu in a statement, he said It was imperative to clarify that the purported Direct Short Service Portal 2023, which is being promoted online, is entirely fraudulent and should be unequivocally avoided. Recognizing the potential harm such misinformation can cause to the confidence of prospective candidates and the public at large, the NA is committed to setting the record straight.

Efforts are already underway to apprehend those responsible for the creation and dissemination of this deceptive portal. The public is urged to promptly report any suspicious recruitment portals or related activities to the Nigerian Army.

The NA remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining a transparent and credible recruitment process exclusively through its official communication channels. These channels include the official Nigerian Army website (https://army.mil.ng), Twitter handle (@HQNigerianArmy), Facebook page (HQ Nigerian Army), and other reputable media outlets. It is crucial to rely on these authorized sources for accurate and current information, steering clear of potentially misleading online advertisements.

This refutation serves as a stern advisory to potential candidates, emphasizing the importance of taking this matter seriously and avoiding falling victim to the deceptive tactics of scammers through fake recruitment advertisements. The Nigerian Army remains dedicated to ensuring the integrity of its recruitment process and safeguarding the interests of aspiring candidates.
