Beware Of Scammers: NAF Warns Public About Fake Recruitment Messages

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has cautioned the public about fraudulent messages circulating on social media platforms claiming that it has commenced recruitment for the 2025/2026 Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) and Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC).

The NAF has denied the authenticity of these messages, stating that no such recruitment exercise is currently ongoing.

The Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, explained that the NAF recruitment process is free, transparent, and strictly merit-based.

He emphasised that the Force does not charge applicants at any stage nor does it engage third-party agents or middlemen. Ejodame assured that any genuine recruitment exercise would be widely publicized via credible national newspapers, the NAF’s official website, and its verified social media channels.

The statement said, “The attention of the Nigerian Air Force has been drawn to fraudulent messages circulating online, falsely claiming that the NAF has commenced recruitment for the 2025/2026 BMTC and DSSC. The Nigerian Air Force wishes to state that no such recruitment exercise is currently ongoing. The public is therefore advised to disregard these messages in their entirety.”

The statement warned the public to “be wary of online scams and exercise extreme caution when coming across unofficial recruitment advertisements,”
