The Nigerian Navy high command has warned applicants undergoing recruitment exercise in three states across the country to desist from paying any money to fraudsters as the entire process of employment is free.
According to naval spokesman, Commodore Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan, the attention of the Nigerian Navy (NN) was drawn to the sharp activities of some unscrupulous persons during the ongoing Nigerian Navy Basic Training School (NNBTS) Batch 35 Recruitment Exercise taking place in Lagos, Rivers and Kaduna States.
“These unscrupulous persons have been deceiving innocent applicants and defrauding them of huge sums of money with promises of recruiting them successfully into the NN.
“Pertinently, it is to be noted that recruitment into the NN from online registration to the end of the recruitment process is entirely free. The NN has not contracted or authorized any agent or individual to collect money or any incentive from applicants in order to help them in the Recruitment process or placement as successful candidate(s) for training.
“Accordingly, applicants and their guardians are advised to report the activities of these unscrupulous individuals to the nearest Naval Unit or Nigeria Police Station. This information is for NNBTS Batch 35 applicants and general public to note.” He said.
