A fraud syndicate has been issuing fake admission letters to applicants into the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), especially candidates of the 72 Regular Course, the Academy Public Relations Officer, Major Abubakar Abdullahi has said.
The spokesman for the Academy said the fraudsters are asking for money from the applicants in exchange for the fake admission letters.
Abdullahi said that the syndicate also print fake admission letters and issue them to candidates after collecting money.
“The Academy strongly advises the public to disregard such letters. Such letters were not initiated by the NDA.
“Hence, the general public should note that selection into NDA is by merit not pay.”
He explained that NDA use only mainstream media, official website www.nda.edu.ng and social media channels on facebook and twitter, DefenceAcademyNG and HQ_NDA respectively, to dessiminate public information.
“Therefore, NDA will never direct you to call any phone number for admission or payment.
“The general public is therefore advised not to fall prey or have any dealings with the said admission frausters.
“You are to report the activities of such frausters to the nearest military or police unit,” he said. (NAN)
