Security operatives in Bayero University, Kano have arrested two persons parading themselves as lecturers and selling books to unsuspecting level one fresh students.
The two persons, whose pictures appear below introduced themselves as David Iluebe from Edo State and Chike E. Eke from Delta State, surreptitiously entered a lecture hall at the Faculty of Engineering of the university and introduced themselves to fresh100 level students as Lecturers of the Department. Thereafter, they presented a set of four different textbooks on Use of English, Statistics, Nigerian People and Culture, and lastly, Algebra and Geometry Mathematics threatening the students to purchase these books as a requirement for their Continuous Assessment (CA) otherwise they’ll fail their courses.
The apprehensive Students present in the hall responded by buying copies of the books to meet the course requirement. Nemesis however, caught up with them when the security operatives swooped in on them following a report. The two persons were however, arrested on 25th July, 2024 by the security operatives for suspected criminal trespass, Impersonation and cheating.
During preliminary investigation, the suspects claimed that they were the authors of the books they were selling to the students and they confessed to all the allegations leveled against them, revealing that they were hustling to make a living due to lack of job. The suspects further disclosed that this was the second time they were coming to the state, having been to the Kano State Polytechnic earlier this year.
The set of books found in their possession were all of poor quality believed to have been pirated. This is clearly a very disturbing emerging trend in our tertiary institutions which are being invaded by crooks and charlatans masquerading as academicians in order to dupe and exploit our unsuspecting students. Meanwhile, the suspects will be handed over to the Police for further appropriate action, while our students would be further sensitized on this ugly development, please.
The Management of Bayero University, Kano wishes to inform the students and the general public to be wary of such impersonators and that surveillance has been beefed up in the University to avert the reoccurrence of such an ugly incident.
