The Nigerian Navy (NN) has disowned a fake press release inviting candidates of the Nigerian Navy Basic Training School (NNBTS), Batch 30 to commence training at the school in Onne on Aug. 18.

Navy Director of Information, Commodore Suleman Dahun, disowned the fake press release in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

He said the Naval Headquarters had not invited successful candidates of Batch 30 to resume for any form of training.

Dahun said the fake press release was the handiwork of fraudsters intent on defrauding unsuspecting and innocent members of the public and should therefore be disregarded.

“The press release is the handiwork of fraudsters intent on defrauding unsuspecting and innocent members of the public and should therefore, be disregarded.
