The Nigerian Air Force, yesterday, said it arrested six applicants over alleged impersonation and falsification of documents during its ongoing screening of candidates for enlistment into the force.

He said that the suspects would be handed over to the police for proper investigation and prosecution.
“We have observed the alarming trend of impersonation, forgery, falsification of documents, certificate racketeering and false claims.
“Signing Attestation Forms, Guardian Consent Form and Guarantor Forms of persons of questionable characters constitutes an offence”, Oghomwen said.
