The Nigerian Navy has denied the validity of the alleged list of chosen applicants for its Basic Training School (NNBTS) Batch 35 Recruitment.
This was said in a statement made in Abuja by Commodore Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan, the Director of Naval Information.
According to Ayo-Vaughan, the exercise was held in three locations throughout the nation: Lagos, Rivers, and Kaduna States.
He characterized the current material as bogus and the product of dishonest miscreants attempting to deceive some naive candidates.
He claimed that neither the list of chosen candidates nor any invitation for training through text message had been sent out by the Nigerian Navy.
The frightening rate at which false information about enlistment or recruitment into the Navy is being spread by dishonest people is quite concerning.
“Efforts are being made to find and apprehend the criminals.
“The general public, especially prospective applicants who applied for the aforementioned recruitment, is strongly advised to always verify information on the NN official website, https://www.navy.mil.ng, and other official social media handles, as well as other reliable mainstream media platforms.
The whole force of the law would be unleashed on miscreants and troublemakers if they continue with this unwholesome activity, he added.

According to Ayo-Vaughan, the text message asked gullible candidates to show up for military training at NNBTS Onne, Rivers, after their alleged selection.
He claimed that the text message also stated that the exercise would start on October 6.
