The Nigerian Army has issued a warning to the public against fraudsters who impersonate the institution to solicit funds for the upcoming Nigerian Army Day Celebration (NADCEL) 2026.
In an official statement released on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, the Army said unscrupulous individuals and criminal syndicates are circulating fake letters, proposals, and sponsorship requests to individuals, banks, corporate organisations, and government agencies, falsely claiming to represent the Army.
The statement was signed by Colonel Appolonia Anele, Acting Director, Army Public Relations.
Anele stated that the Army has not authorised any individual or group to raise funds on its behalf for the celebration.
“NADCEL 2026, scheduled to hold from 1 to 6 July 2026 in commemoration of the 163rd Anniversary of the Nigerian Army, is an official event. All legitimate communications regarding the celebration are strictly conveyed through recognised and verifiable Nigerian Army platforms and channels,” the statement read.
