N1.5 Million Admission Scam: Cybercafe Operator faces charges

By the Management of LASCOHET, led by the Provost, Professor Akewushola, he confessed to the allegation levelled against him, stating that the admission was not for LASCOHET, but a professional body, CIMB, an association that he claimed to be a Liaison Officer for, but could not give the full name of the acronym.

The provost warned the public not to transact with Mr. Arapatile, stressing that he is neither a staff member nor an authorised agent of LASCOHET.

“Our administration has zero tolerance for such acts,” Akewushola said, adding that the college would pursue all avenues to bring perpetrators to book and ensure appropriate punishment.

In parallel, the Acting Vice-Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Prof. Carol Chinyelugo Arinze-Umobi, said the school has begun a crackdown on admission racketeering in the institution.

This was after the school ordered disciplinary sanctions against a staff member, (name withheld), for allegedly fraudulently collecting ₦400,000 from a prospective student’s mother, with the promise of securing admission for her son into the Faculty of Medicine.
