The Nigerian Navy (NN) has called on citizens to ignore a fake and fraudulent advertisement for enlistment into the 2023/2024 Direct Short Service Commission shared online.
In a message released on Monday, September 11, through its Director of Naval Information, Commodore AO Ayo-Vaughan, the force noted it will usually notify the public through its official website www.nigeriannavy.mil.ng and other credible verifiable platforms including mainstream media for the advertisement of such Enlistment Exercise.
The message read in part: “The attention of the Naval Headquarters has been drawn to a fraudulent online advertisement on the enlistment exercise for Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC) into the Nigerian Navy (NN) captioned: Nigerian Navy DSSC Recruitment 2023/2024 Application Form Portal/www.joinnigerianavy.com.
“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.
“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 mainstream media for the advertisement of such Enlistment Exercise.
