Rector of Igbajo Polytechnic, Igbajo, Osun State and former Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor of Oduduwa University, Osun State, Olaolu Olugbenga is currently engulfed in a certificate forgery scandal.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has now arrested him over alleged forgery of a doctorate degree certificate.
In a statement by Mrs Rasheedat Okoduwa, Spokesperson of ICPC, she disclosed that; “Preliminary investigations conducted by ICPC operatives on a petition revealed that Olugbenga is actually working with a suspected fake PhD certificate purportedly from the University of Ibadan.”
“During interrogation at the Ibadan office of the commission where he is being held, the suspect insisted in his statement that the certificate is genuine. The action, if proved, violates Section 465 of the Criminal Code and Section 25 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000 respectively.”
“Further action in accordance with the laws will be taken at the conclusion of investigation.”
