“Another one stated from “Dear X, NDLEA training kits to get are 3 Set of uniforms, both short and long sleeves and overall, 2 ceremonial suits, 2 cardigans, 12 Pieces of white T-shirt and shorts respectively.

“This is not from NDLEA. The agency still maintains that the collation of applications is very much ongoing after which successful applicants will proceed to the next stage before final screening.
“It is still a relatively long way to go, contrary to claims by scammers that the process has been completed,” he said.
