12 Arrested In Akwa Ibom Over Alleged Navy Recruitment Scam

By Niger Delta Reporters

Security agencies have arrested 12 suspects in Akwa Ibom State over an alleged recruitment scam involving prospective Nigerian Navy applicants.

The operation was reportedly conducted on August 31 as authorities intensified efforts to clamp down on fraudulent recruitment schemes.

Recruitment scams have continued to expose young Nigerians to financial exploitation, particularly when criminals falsely claim to have connections within security agencies.

Authorities are expected to investigate the suspects and establish the extent of the alleged operation.

Niger Delta Reporters advises members of the public to rely only on official recruitment channels when applying for jobs in the Nigerian Armed Forces.
