Management of
the University of Benin, on Wednesday said it had handed over to the
police 143 of its students for certificate forgery.
The students, according to a statement by the
institution’s Public Relations Officer, Harrison Osarenren, are students
of the faculties of Social Sciences, Engineering, Management Sciences
and Life Sciences.
Vice-Chancellor, of the institution, Prof. Osayuki
Oshodin, said some of the students were arrested during the second
semester examinations.
He said, “We arrested some persons who engaged in
certificate racketeering and we are going to flush out any member of
staff involved in these illegal activities.
“Some of the students involved in this fake
admission, have been arrested and are with the police now. We cannot
tolerate illegalities in this university and we appeal to parents to
monitor their children to ensure that they are not involved in such a
vice.”
He further raised the alarm over havoc wreaked by
erosion in the university and appealed to the Federal Government to
assist the institution.
According to the PRO, four houses in the staff quarters have been submerged, forcing the relocation of their occupants.
