The Nigerian Air Force has raised an alarm over activities of fraudsters issuing fake and fraudulent admissions being circulated on various social media platforms.
Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, in a statement on Wednesday said the originator of the purported admission nomination into “ND and HND programmes” at the NAF College of Nursing directs unsuspecting applicants to pay a non-refundable fee of N15,500 at the “Office of the Registrar.”
The NAF spokesperson revealed this particular fraudster went further to provide phone numbers, an email address and a website to perpetrate his unlawful act.
He gave details of given correspondence to include: 08123366242, 08084683594; forceeducationunit@yahoo.com and aabadmus.com.ng.
Gabtwet added that it was disheartening that despite repeated warnings by the NAF, some members of the public still fall preys to nefarious activities of fraudsters and conmen who swindle them of their hard-earned money for admissions that never existed.
"While the NAF is frantically making efforts to track and identify this particular fraudster and others to bring them to justice, the NAF wishes to state that currently, the NAFCON has not commenced or advertised for any admission into ND or HND Nursing at the College.
"The general public should also be informed that so far, the National Board for Technical Education has approved only the ND programme in General Nursing for the College, which is yet to be advertised", he said.
Gabkwet noted that information regarding admission into ND General Nursing programme at NAFCON would be communicated to the general public through the NAF website, www.airforce.mil.ng, and other verified NAF official social media platforms.
Nigerian Air Force, therefore, advised Nigerians to disregard any advert placement circulating in the social media on admission into NAFCON.
