The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has warned Nigerians to beware of fraudulent letters currently being circulated online and offline, falsely claiming to offer admission into the academy’s 77 Regular Course.
The academy described the letters, which were allegedly issued in the name of the Academy Registrar, as fake and the handiwork of fraudsters seeking to extort unsuspecting applicants.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Academy Public Relations Officer, Major Reuben Kovangiya, said the admission process for the 77 Regular Course had long been concluded.
“The attention of the Nigerian Defence Academy has been drawn to fraudulent letters currently in circulation, purportedly signed by the Academy Registrar, offering admission into the NDA 77 Regular Course.
“The NDA wishes to state unequivocally that the letter circulating is not only fake but obviously the antics of fraudsters, whose sole intention is to defraud unsuspecting members of the public,” the statement read.
The NDA explained that the authentic list of successful candidates and reserves was published in the Daily Trust and Daily Sun newspapers of August 19, 2025, as well as on the NDA’s official website.
It, therefore, urged Nigerians to ignore any unsolicited messages or documents claiming to offer admission into the academy and to verify all information only through official channels.
