  "account": "The Nigerian Navy has issued a warning to the public against fraudulent Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC) recruitment notices that are circulating on social media platforms. Director of Naval Information, Captain Abi Folorunsho, cautioned that these notices were not issued by the Navy, as the DSSC recruitment exercise had not commenced. The fake notices claim to advertise openings for DSSC Course 30 and list qualifications across various fields, including medical, engineering, legal, ICT, and more. Folorunsho emphasized that the Navy's DSSC recruitment had not started and that the accurate information would be posted on the official Nigerian Navy website and social media pages. He urged the public not to fall victim to scams and to remain vigilant. This warning followed the Navy's announcement of the commencement of its 2026 Batch 39 recruitment for the Basic Training School.",
