ICPC Nabs Certificate Forgers in UNIPORT
Through intelligence gathering and painstaking investigation,
the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences
Commission (ICPC) has recently arrested two suspects – Mr.
Onosemuode Roland and Mr. Jacobson Ubong Jonathan, who specialize
in forging school certificates at the University of Port-Harcourt
(UNIPORT), Rivers State.
The principal suspect Roland (AKA Rolex) was nabbed through a
sting operation successfully carried out by ICPC operatives at the
Choba Campus of UNIPORT. The suspects specialize in forging school
leaving result, diploma and degree certificates.
Earlier, ICPC undercover operatives approached Mr. Roland and
requested him to produce an original Bachelor of Engineering
Certificate in Chemical Engineering to aid in employment into one
of the oil servicing companies which he agreed to do for the sum of
forty five thousand naira only (N45, 000.00).
Roland was arrested after producing forged degree certificate
and on receiving the balance sum of N25, 000.00 marked money.
Subsequently, he volunteered a statement in the presence of one
Mr. Atarhinyo Solomon Igho and a lawyer Mr. Dennis Enyi Nwokah,
where he admitted the allegation of certificate forgery and
mentioned Mr. Jacobson Ubong Jonathan as a conspirator who was
later arrested by ICPC operatives.
As further investigation is ongoing in the matter, the suspects
have since been granted administrative bail by the Commission.
The suspects would be charged to court for allegedly committing
offences that contravene Sections 15 and 25 of the Corrupt
Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.
