The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has urged members of the public to beware of fake admission syndicate demanding fees for placement into its College of Nursing

The Air Force authorities noted that notification for such admission was fake and fraudulent and therefore urged the public to disregard it

A statement titled, “BEWARE OF FAKE ADMISSION NOTIFICATIONS INTO NAF COLLEGE OF NURSING” and issued by NAF’s Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, explained that
the NAFCON has not commenced or advertised for any admission into ND or HND Nursing at the College.

He stated 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 and accordingly, information regarding admission into the 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.

“Members of the public are hereby advised to disregard any advert placement circulating in the social media on admission into NAFCON”.

Part of the statement reads-: “The attention of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has been drawn to a fake and fraudulent admission notification currently circulating on various social media platforms.

“The originator of the purported admission nomination into “ND/HND programmes” at the NAF College of Nursing (NAFCON) directs unsuspecting applicants to pay a non-refundable fee of N15,500 at the “Office of the Registrar”.

” To perpetuate his unlawful act, this particular fraudster went further to provide phone numbers, email address and a website as follows;08123366242, 08084683594; forceeducationunit@yahoo.com; aabadmus.com.ng.”

According to the Airforce, It is disheartening that despite repeated warnings by the NAF, some members of the public still fall prey to the unwholesome and nefarious activities of fraudsters and con men who swindle them of their hard-earned money for admissions that do not exist.

NAF is frantically making efforts to track and identify the fraudster and others to bring them to justice
