The Federal Government has raised concerns over a growing trend of Nigerians being illegally recruited to participate in foreign armed conflicts under deceptive circumstances.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, sounded the alarm in a statement issued on Sunday through the ministry’s spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa, warning citizens to avoid offers that involve enlistment in overseas conflicts.
According to the minister, recent media investigations and security reports indicate that many Nigerians were recruited under false pretences, including promises of lucrative employment, security jobs, educational opportunities, or migration incentives.
