The management of the University of Ibadan has issued a formal disclaimer concerning a fraudulent online advertisement promoting admissions for the 2024/2025 academic session at a so-called "University of Ibadan, Minna Study Centre." The advert, which targets police officers, other paramilitary personnel, and the general public, falsely claims to offer various diploma, higher diploma, and postgraduate programs in criminology, psychology, and security studies.
In response, the University of Ibadan has unequivocally disassociated itself from the purported Minna Study Centre and its advertised programs. The institution has no affiliation with the study centre, its operations, or the individuals listed as contacts in the advert. The names mentioned in connection with the fraudulent advertisement include:
- Dr. I. S. Nabara (Coordinator) – 08035958943
- Mr. Friday Oguche (PTS Minna) – 07068164225
- Tanko Lawal – 08038025075
The University of Ibadan, being a reputable degree-awarding institution, does not offer the programs advertised at the fictitious study centre. The management warns the public against falling victim to this scam and advises individuals to disregard any communication from the listed contacts.
Additionally, the university has alerted appropriate security agencies to investigate and take necessary action against those behind the fraudulent scheme.
Members of the public are strongly advised to verify the authenticity of any university-related information directly through official University of Ibadan channels to avoid being defrauded.
