Mohammed
Opeyemi, the owner of an internet cafe on the premises of Kwara State
Polytechnic in Ilorin, Kwara State, has been arrested by the security personnel
of the institution for allegedly forging fees clearance documents for
graduating students of the school.
Narrating
how the culprit was apprehended on Wednesday, the Rector of Kwarapoly, Alhaji
Mas’ud Elelu, said the suspect was caught with a stamp and signature specimen
of the approving officer of the audit department of the institution.
Elelu
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.”
Elelu
said Opeyemi’s cafe had been shut down and that investigations were on to arrest
his accomplices.
“The
certificates that have been signed or to be signed by him have been stopped,”
he added.
