The Nigerian Army has raised the alarm over a fake recruitment advertisement circulating on social media and other online platforms, inviting applications for the Short Service Combatant Commission (SSCC) Course 50/2027.

The Army, in a statement by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Appolonia Anele, described the advertisement as fraudulent and warned members of the public to disregard it.

“The Nigerian Army categorically states that this advertisement is false, fraudulent and did not emanate from the Nigerian Army,” Anele said.

She cautioned prospective applicants against applying through, patronising or making payments to any individual, group or website claiming to conduct recruitment on behalf of the Nigerian Army.
