The two suspects identified as Power Innocent and Otene who came into Edo from Bayelsa State were alleged to have been collecting N50,000 from the applicants with a promise of facilitating their recruitment into the Nigeria Army.
They were nabbed at the Ekehuan Barracks where the applicants are currently undergoing physical and mental exercise.
It was gathered that the suspects were lodged in a Hotel in Benin City from where they go to Ekehuan Barracks since the recruitment exercise began.
The sum of N450,000 was allegedly found on them but the suspects denied extorting money from the applicants.
They however admitted that they collected N30,000 from one of the applicants who came to them for help.
Military personnel in charge of the training, Brigadier-General Ekanem warned the applicants not to give money with a view of joining the Nigeria Army.
According to him, “You must not pay to join the Nigeria Army. You will be selected based on merit. We will test your physical fitness and your level of education”.
