Three swindlers have been apprehended by operatives of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS BEEECROFT) for trying to mislead members of the general public, with a bogus claim and publication of recruitment into The Gallantry Corps Of Nigeria, using the logo of the Nigerian Navy and the picture of the Chief Of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla.
The unscrupulous elements who have been handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for more investigation and information, were using this cheat means to fleece innocent and unsuspecting victims.
The trio were identified as Oladele Opeyemi Daniel (23),
Eriwole Ogunlana (24) and
Mubarak Mayegun (24), are in custody and have been handed over to the State Criminal Department of the Lagos State Police Command for in-depth investigation and prosecution.
The Nigerian Navy appeals to the public to be mindful of unscrupulous elements, who want to inflict unnecessary hardship by using unpleasant means to lure innocent youths to commit resources for illegitimate employment.
The Nigerian Navy Under the leadership of Vice Admiral EI Ogalla, reaffirms its commitment to thwarting all forms of illegality and remains resolute in providing conducive employment for law abiding citizens to go about their business as well as ensuring safety and security of the public, which is essential for the economic prosperity of our nation.
The Navy also urge citizens to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities promptly, as this is crucial in preserving integrity of our defence forces and safeguarding the public from potential scams and fraudulent activities.
