The Ekiti State police command have arrested two suspects, Adesanmi Sunday and Akinola Olugbenga Olaolu, for allegedly running a fake study centre of Kwara State University, Malete, in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Eribo, disclosed this at the command’s headquarters in Ado-Ekiti, while briefing newsmen on the achievements recorded from January till date.
Eribo said the illegal operation was uncovered following credible intelligence received on February 18, 2025 that the syndicate reportedly issued counterfeit bachelor’s and master’s degree certificates to some unsuspecting individuals.
He said that the Kwara State University had since disassociated itself from the fraudulent centre and one member of the syndicate claimed to be a professor.
