Kogi Polytechnic Suspends Deputy Registrar, Others in Certificate Forgery Scandal.
A Deputy Registrar at the Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, is among nine members of a syndicate alleged to specialise in forging statements of results and educational certificates of the institution.
The Rector of the Polytechnic, Professor Usman Ogbo, disclosed this in Lokoja.
He said the Deputy Registrar whose name he declined to mention—and five other members of staff in the Exams and Records Unit of the Polytechnic identified as members of the syndicate have been suspended indefinitely.
He further stated that four other persons, including three students and a former student involved in the certificate and statement of results forgery case, have been identified and arrested.
Professor Ogbo said the suspects were identified through intelligence reports and routine verification exercises conducted by the Admission, ICT, and Security Units of the Polytechnic.
According to him, a detailed investigation was also launched in collaboration with relevant law enforcement agencies.
The Rector revealed that 30 statements of results bearing different names, ND and HND certificates, several fake official stamps, stamp pads, and admission letters bearing different names and programmes were recovered from the suspects.
The Rector, however, stated further that “Investigation revealed shocking levels of audacity and deceit.
“Some of the suspects forged National Diploma (ND) results in the name of Kogi State Polytechnic and had the temerity to apply for Higher National Diploma (HND) admission in the same institution using the forged ND results.
“Even more alarming, others forged both ND and HND results and had the gut to apply for the collection of original certificates for the same fabricated results.”
