The University of Ibadan (UI) has handed six of its
staff to the Department of State Services (DSS) over alleged
examination fraud.
Olayinka Oladejo, the institution’s director of
communications, said the workers belong to the university’s
Distance Learning Centre (DLC).
According to the
PUNCH,[1] Oladejo said
investigation showed that the workers were detained for allegedly
smuggling scripts for students during examinations, fabricating
computer based test results, falsifying clearance mostly for
students having disciplinary issues, among others.
He said the director of the DLC informed Idowu Olayinka,
vice-chancellor of the university, who then approved a through
investigation of the matter and ordered their arrest.
“When it happened, the director alerted the VC who ordered their
arrest. Officials of the DSS were invited to effect the arrests.
They were found indulging in examination malpractices,” he
said.
“The vice-chancellor called on the DSS to engage in rigorous
investigation and diligent prosecution to serve as deterrent to
others.”
Some of the arrested officials are Edward Eborgu, head of UI DLC
software unit; Kehinde Ajao, head student support; Shola Akintunde,
executive officer and media representative, and Ademola Okunola, IT
personnel.
