- Advertisement did not emanate us, says NAF
- NAF says recruitment is free and without any form of gratification
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has dismissed a NAF recruitment advert being circulated on social media platforms as fake and an attempt to defraud applicants.
A statement by the Director, Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, on Monday in Abuja said “NAF is not recruiting”, and warned applicants not to fall prey to fraudsters.
Gabkwet said the advertisement did not emanate from the NAF, and reminded Nigerians that the service recently graduated recruits of Basic Military Training Course 43/2022, on July 8.
According to him, members of the public would be adequately informed whenever NAF is recruiting.
“The public is please once again reminded that recruitment and selection process into the NAF is free and without any form of gratification. Anyone who pays money under any guise does so at his or her own risk.
“Furthermore, NAF recruitment process is devoid of recruitment agents, hence anyone who claims to be operating in such capacity on behalf of the NAF is a fraudster.
“The NAF wishes to advise prospective applicants to promptly report anyone who solicit for payments to the nearest NAF Unit or the Nigeria Police Force,” he said.
On the other end, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has released the final lists of successful candidates for the 2023 recruitment exercise for Narcotic Officer and Narcotic Assistant cadres.
Femi Babafemi, spokesperson to NDLEA, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
The development comes on the heels of the agency’s 2023 recruitment exercise, which commenced on March 12.
Babafemi said that the successful candidates for cadet trainees are to report at the Agency’s Academy in Jos and NSCDC College of Peace and Disaster Management in Katsina states, respectively.
Babafemi stated that candidates must report for training with a photocopy of their credentials.
He also noted that successful candidates are to bring original and photocopy credentials, including a National Identification Number (NIN) and a printout of the NDLEA online application reference slip.
