Unemployment Crisis: Fraudulent Lecturers Arrested At Bayero University Kano

Two individuals have been arrested at Bayero University Kano (BUK) for posing as lecturers and selling books to first-year students. According to a special announcement signed by the university’s Acting Registrar, Bala G. Abdullahi, the suspects, David Iluebe from Edo State and Chike E. Eke from Delta State, falsely claimed to be lecturers in the Faculty of Engineering…….. CONTINUE READING

The pair sold a set of three textbooks—covering English, Statistics, and Nigerian People and Culture—that they claimed were essential for the students’ Continuous Assessment (C.A.). They allegedly coerced students into purchasing these books by threatening them with course failure if they did not comply.

The Acting Registrar noted that students, anxious about meeting course requirements, bought the books, but suspicions arose and the university security apprehended the suspects after a complaint was filed.

Iluebe and Eke face charges of criminal trespass, impersonation, and fraud. During preliminary investigations, they admitted to posing as book authors and revealed that they engaged in this fraudulent scheme due to unemployment. They also confessed that this was their second attempt in Kano State, having previously operated at Kano State Polytechnic earlier this year.
