Nigerian Navy has said there is no recruitment at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital and called on Nigerians to beware of fraudsters.
A statement by the director information, Naval headquarters, Cdre Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan said there is no such recruitment by the Nigerian Navy Medical Services.
He described it an attempt to mislead and possibly defraud innocent and unsuspecting members of the public.
The statement reads in part, “the attention of the Nigerian Navy has been drawn to a message circulating on social media groups which states that Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital is conducting Recruitment for 2023 hence the message called interested and eligible candidates to submit their written application letter and other relevant credentials to Naval headquarters, Abuja.”
The message further advised applicants to include contact phone number and addresses of three referees one of whom must be from the applicant’s institution.
“For the avoidance of doubt, there is no such recruitment by the Nigerian Navy Medical Services. It is an attempt to mislead and possibly defraud innocent and unsuspecting members of the public.
“Against this backdrop, members of the public are advised to be careful and cautions so as not be defrauded by criminals and fraudsters who are behind the false recruitment exercise.
“The Nigerian Navy’s Recruitment exercises are duly publicised and announced on both traditional and social media,” the statement added.
