The Nigerian Army has warned the public to disregard a recruitment advertisement circulating on social media, saying the “Direct Short Service Course (DSSC) 29 Application Form 2026” is available.
Nigerian Army spokesperson, Col. Appolonia Anele, stated this on Friday in Abuja.
Anele described the advert as fake, false, and misleading, adding that the Army has not commenced any recruitment or commissioning exercise for the DSSC or Short Service Commission (SSC).
She assured that all legitimate recruitment exercises are publicised only through official channels, including the Nigerian Army website, verified social media accounts, and national newspapers.
She also reminded the public that no fees are required for recruitment.
Anele urged members of the public to be vigilant and report any information on fraudulent activities to the nearest security agency or appropriate authorities.
