The Nigerian Defence Academy has warned members of the public about a fraudulent admission invitation letter circulating online, stressing that the document did not originate from the institution.
The academy disclosed that the fake letter was allegedly addressed to one Abubakar Washima, falsely claiming he had been selected for admission.
Authorities clarified that all official admission communications are issued only through verified channels.
In a statement shared on its official X account, the Academy’s Public Relations Officer, Reuben Kovangiya, said the institution had no connection to the letter and urged the public to treat it as a scam.
According to the statement, any legitimate invitation for screening or admission into the academy is published in national newspapers and on the institution’s official website.
The academy advised prospective applicants and their families to disregard suspicious messages and documents.
The NDA further urged the public to promptly report any questionable correspondence through its official communication channels for verification, noting that the warning is aimed at protecting candidates from falling victim to admission fraud.
The academy reiterated its commitment to transparency in its admission process and encouraged applicants to rely strictly on verified information from official sources.
