A Nigerian man has claimed that the UK Army recently reached out to him to complete his enlistment application after previously rejecting him for not meeting the age requirement.
According to him, he had applied months earlier but was unable to proceed due to age restrictions.
Army allegedly contacts him
He alleged that the situation changed following the outbreak of war between the United Kingdom and Germany, after which the military reportedly contacted him again and allowed him to continue the recruitment process.
He said …
“I applied to join the UK army months ago, but I wasn’t allowed to complete my application because I didn’t meet the age requirement. Now that they’re at war with Germany, they’ve called me back and allowed me to finish the application.”
