The Nigerian Army has come out to denounce any involvement in the alleged financial demands from trainees at the Depot, Nigerian Army, Zaria. Maj.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, issued a statement on Thursday condemning the actions of those making fraudulent demands from selected trainees.
In the statement, Mr. Nwachukwu emphasized that the claims of financial demands from trainees were not only false but also criminal. He stressed the long-standing tradition of the Nigerian Army fully funding and supporting the training of potential recruits and officer cadets. Any attempts to deceive unsuspecting individuals who have successfully completed the rigorous training process are seen as criminal activities that must be stopped.
The Director of Army Public Relations expressed concern about the reputation of the Nigerian Army being tarnished by such fraudulent actions. He urged parents and guardians to be cautious and to ignore any requests for payment related to the training of their wards. Efforts are already underway to identify the source of these fraudulent messages and take appropriate action against the perpetrators.
It is reiterated that the training of potential recruits and officer cadets is entirely funded by the Nigerian Army, and there should be no financial demands on trainees or their families. The public is advised to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to these fraudulent demands.
In conclusion, the Nigerian Army warns against falling victim to the schemes of criminals seeking to exploit individuals for financial gain. Vigilance and reporting any attempts at fraud are crucial in maintaining the integrity of the Nigerian Army and protecting the interests of trainees and their families. Parents and guardians are encouraged to stay informed and alert to ensure the safety and well-being of their loved ones undergoing training in the Nigerian Army.
