No plans to train recruits in Sambisa - Army Spokesman

The Nigerian Army has denied an online report that it would be training the 76 Regular Recruits Intake (76RRI) in the Sambisa forest.

The Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman in a statement on Saturday urged the public to ignore the “mischievous’’ report purported to have emanated from the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai.

“Members of the public are therefore requested to disregard it in its entirety.

“They should also be wary of fraudsters that request for gratification from interested candidates or their families. Recruitment into the Nigerian Army is free,” he said.
