Kwara Poly Busts Business Centre Owner Who Forges Certificates and Receipts for Students
Mohammed Opeyemi who runs a business centre/internet cafe in the premises of the Kwara State Polytechnic have been arrested by the school's security personnel for allegedly forging certificates and clearance fee receipts for graduating students.
According to Punch, the school's rector Alhaji Mas'ud Elelu said Opeyemi was caught with a stamp and signature specimen of the officer approving the audit department. He added that the centre has been shut down, and any school staff traced to Opeyemi will be arrested too.
Here's what he said:
"We caught him through our intelligent network. We caught him with some of the stamps and documents he had forged. He had stamps of the audit department and even the signature of the man in audit that normally signs the document.
"That audit paper is always presented before certificates are signed. The procedure is that at the end of payment by graduating students, there is verification, after which the audit department will certify. It is the paper from audit that is attached to the application sent to Exams and Records and then the calligrapher will now write the certificate and send it to the Registrar; then it will come to me as the final person that will sign.
"The document and signature of the person who certifies that a particular student has paid at the audit department are what Opeyemi used to forge. He has the stamp and the signature and we caught him. We have handed him over to the police. They are investigating.
"The certificates that have been signed or to be signed by him have been stopped."
Confirming the incident, the Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ajayi Jeffrey, said investigations are still ongoing and Opeyemi with be prosecuted.
