The Nigerian Army has said that the arrest of three fraudulent candidates in Lagos State reflects the transparency of its recruitment process. The authorities have pledged to prosecute those attempting to compromise this process.
Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, said this while addressing a viral video depicting the arrest of certain fraudulent candidates involved in the ongoing 86 Regular Recruits Intake. The candidates were caught attempting to deceive indigenous candidates of Lagos State through illegitimate means.
By claiming to hail from Lagos, the candidates intended to secure the slots designated to Lagos State indigenes.
The video sparked reactions from indigenes of Lagos, with many saying that Lagosians are being short-changed in the recruitment process.
