By Rukevwe Odeh
The Nigerian Army has alerted Nigerians to a fraudulent recruitment advertisement circulating online, claiming to invite applications for the Short Service Combatant Commission (SSCC) Course 50/2027.
In a statement released by the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Appolonia Anele, the Army described the advertisement as fake and warned that it was not issued by the military.
The Army urged members of the public, especially prospective applicants, to ignore the false recruitment notice and avoid making payments to individuals, groups, or websites claiming to conduct recruitment on its behalf.
According to the statement, all recruitment and commissioning exercises conducted by the Nigerian Army are free of charge, transparent, and strictly based on merit. It added that official recruitment announcements are only made through recognised national newspapers, the Army’s verified social media platforms, and other approved communication channels.
The Army also stressed that no recruitment forms are sold and that no individual or agent has been authorised to facilitate enlistment or collect money from applicants.
Security agencies have been directed to identify and prosecute those responsible for creating and circulating the fake advertisement. The Army warned that anyone found using the fraudulent recruitment scheme to deceive Nigerians would face legal action.
The military reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its recruitment process and advised Nigerians to verify any recruitment information through official Nigerian Army communication channels. It also encouraged the public to report suspicious recruitment activities to the nearest military formation or relevant security agency.

Nigeria’s petrol prices may face downward pressure following a fresh decline in international crude oil prices, amid growing optimism that diplomatic efforts to end the conflict between the United States and Iran could lead to the resumption of crude oil and petroleum product shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The development could ease pressure on global oil markets, as the Strait of Hormuz remains a major international route for crude oil and petroleum product transportation.
A possible restoration of shipping activities through the waterway is expected to improve global supply and reduce concerns over disruptions that have contributed to fluctuations in oil prices.

The Presidency and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, have exchanged words following allegations that officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) prevented him from greeting Nigeria’s victorious Under-17 women’s national football team, the Flamingos, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Obi alleged that NFF officials stopped him from approaching the players when he encountered the team at the airport on Monday, following their return from Morocco with the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup trophy.
In a statement issued through his media office, the former Anambra State governor said he had asked his protocol officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether he could welcome and congratulate the players.
