The Nigerian Navy has alerted the public of a fake online advertisement calling for enlistment into the Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC) Nigerian Navy (NN) captioned: Nigerian Navy DSSC Recruitment 2023/2024 Application Form Portal/www.joinnigerianavy.com.
It said the advertisement is fake and that ” NN did not announce any DSSC Enlistment Exercise neither is the Service conducting any form of enlistment for the NN officer cadre.”
The false publication advised for interested applicants to visit https://www.topnigerianjobs.com/nigeria-dssc-recruitment/ claiming that the Nigerian Navy DSSC Recruitment 2023 portal is currently opened for online application.
Director of Information, Naval Headquarters, Commodore
AO Ayo-Vaughan said the criminals also stated that applicants will be intimated on the opening and closing dates for the 2023/2024 Nigerian Navy DSSC Recruitment.
” It was further mentioned that detailed information, guidelines and other requirements that will assist applicants in the application process had been provided, invariably cajoling unsuspecting individuals to login into the fake website.
“It is important to note that the NN did not announce any DSSC Enlistment Exercise neither is the Service conducting any form of enlistment for the NN officer cadre.
“For avoidance of doubt, the NN will usually notify the public through its official website www.nigeriannavy.mil.ng and other credible verifiable platforms including main stream media for the advertisement of such Enlistment Exercise.”
He said that in addition, contrary to the false statement provided by the unscrupulous swindlers regarding the non – disclosure of the opening and closing dates of the Exercise, “the NN will always provide details and phases of the entire Exercise when publicized.”
Accordingly, members of the public especially would-be applicants are strongly advised to always verify information from the NN official website stated above and other official NN social media handles to avoid falling prey to fraudsters.
