The Nigerian Army College of Logistics and Management (NACOLM), Lagos, has warned the public against a fraudulent online advertisement promoting an alleged international research conference at the institution.
The college said the advertisement for the purported “Highstone Global University USA International Research Conference” did not originate from it and that it has no connection with the programme.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 22, the institution said it did not authorise the organisers to use its facilities and has no partnership, agreement or involvement with the proposed conference.
NACOLM urged members of the public not to pay money or release personal information to anyone in connection with the event.
It advised anyone who comes across the advertisement or receives suspicious requests linked to the purported conference to disregard them and report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
The college further stated that legitimate events involving the institution would only be announced through its official communication channels or those of the Nigerian Army.
The warning is aimed at protecting members of the public from possible fraud as well as safeguarding the reputation and facilities of the institution.
