The Nigerian Defence Academy
(NDA) has warned members of the public to be wary of misleading vacancy
announcements claiming it was recruiting.
In a statement on Thursday by Major
Musa Yahaya, the NDA appealed to Nigerians not to fall victims to fraudsters.
He said: “The attention of the
Nigerian Defence Academy has been drawn to the activities of some scammers and
admission racketeers on Face book and other social media sites impersonating
the Commandant Nigerian Defence Academy and thereby defrauding potential cadets
and their parents of their hard earned money.
“The fake Facebook accounts and
social media sites / syndicate calls for people who are interested in admission
into 70 Regular Course and 77 RRI to call a certain phone number or pay money
into some account numbers.
“We wish to state unequivocally
that such Face book posts and social media sites are all the handiwork of
fraudsters and DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NIGERIAN DEFENCE ACADEMY.
It is the concorted work of fraudters and we therefore warn all law abiding
Nigerians not to have any dealings with this syndicate as doing so will be at
their own peril.
“For the avoidance of doubt,
Major General Adeniyi Oyebade is a seasoned senior officer of the Nigerian
Armed Forces who has had a long, meritorious and illustrious service to the
Armed Forces of Nigeria.
“Entry into the Nigerian Defence
Academy is only possible through a transparent and rigorous process which
starts from acquiring the NDA forms online, writing JAMB, writing NDA admission
examination, from which successful candidates will be invited to a 2 week
intensive physical, mental and intellectual interview process which is
structured to ensure an unbiased and level ground for all candidates.
“Only those who emerge successful
from this process will be invited for training at the Academy. Information on
the NDA can also be checked on www.nda.edu.ng
“Again, we call on all law
abiding Nigerians to resist the temptations of having any dealings with these
fraudsters and authors of these fake Facebook accounts and social media sites
or any social media accounts or person/ persons that offer easy admission into
the Nigerian Defence Academy. Doing so will be at your own peril and loss.”
