The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has raised the alarm over fake recruitment messages circulating online, warning the public to disregard claims that it has commenced the 2025/2026 Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) and Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC) enlistment.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, director of public relations and information, stated categorically that no such recruitment exercise is currently ongoing.
“The attention of the Nigerian Air Force has been drawn to fraudulent messages falsely claiming that recruitment into BMTC and DSSC has begun. These claims are entirely false, and the public is advised to ignore them,” the statement read.
The NAF emphasised that its recruitment process is free, transparent, and strictly merit-based, with no agents or third-party involvement at any stage.
“Any legitimate recruitment will be officially announced via national newspapers, the NAF’s official website, and verified social media handles,” it added.
Members of the public were urged to be cautious and avoid falling victim to online scams.
The statement concluded by reaffirming NAF’s commitment to integrity, transparency, and service to the nation.
