The ICPC has charged Baba Kudu Mohammed with forging a University of Abuja degree and an NYSC exemption certificate, which he allegedly used to seek employment, with his trial set to begin on March 3, 2025.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has brought charges against Baba Kudu Mohammed for allegedly forging a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the University of Abuja, as well as a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) exemption certificate.
Mohammed appeared before Honourable Justice A.Y. Shafa at the Federal Capital Territory High Court, No. 45, located in Nyanya, facing a total of four counts related to forgery.
The ICPC alleges that Mohammed presented these purported forged certificates to the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) with the intention of securing employment at the agency.
One of the charges states: “That you, Baba Kudu Mohammed (M), at some point in August 2010 or thereabouts at Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, were found in possession of a forged Letter of Exemption from National Service bearing your name, with identification number NYSC/CMD/LT. No. 201201201 and serial number 15440, allegedly issued by the National Youth Service Corps Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, thereby committing an offence contrary to and punishable under section 368 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 53, Laws of Federation of Nigeria, 2004.”
Mohammed has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
The prosecution counsel, Mr. Hamza Sani, informed the court of their readiness to proceed, having two witnesses available to support their case.
Defence counsel M.E. Abubakar requested bail for Mohammed, to which the prosecution counsel did not object.
The court granted bail under specific conditions, and the case has been adjourned until March 3, 2025, for the start of hearings.
