The Ogun State-owned Dauda Adegbenro Polytechnic, Itori, has uncovered an illegal study centre operated by some fraudsters, located in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
The Rector of the Polytechnic, Alfred Fatade, made the disclosure on Thursday when the management of the institution paid a courtesy call on leadership of Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State Council in Abeokuta.
Mr. Fatade said the fraudsters were so audacious that they printed handbills and posters to deceive prospective applicants into seeking admission to the centre said to be with the approval of the Ogun State Government.
“We have just uncovered a fake study centre of Ogun State owned DS Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic. The illegal centre is located in Benin,Edo State Capital. The fraudsters also provided handbills and posters to deceive prospective candidates,” he said.
The rector said following the discovery, the management had to dispel the information and distanced itself from the fake centre, adding that a report had been made to the police.
While cautioning prospective candidates and their parents to steer clear of the centre, Mr. Fatade said the polytechnic had no study centre in any part of the country or abroad.
He said, “I want to use this medium to tell the world that, the institution has no any study centre, and we do not operate outside the permanent site which is located in Itori town of Ewekoro local Government of Ogun State, along the old Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway.”
