Varsity Declares Corps Member Wanted Over N30m School Fees Scam by FavoredGuy: 7:44am On May 03, 2017 |
A corps member serving in
Zamfara State, Fidelis Chalokwo,
has been declared wanted by the
Modibbo Adama University of
Technology, Yola, over N30m
varsity school fees fraud involving
940 students.
Our correspondent learnt that the
940 students of the institution
risked being restrained from
sitting for the second semester
examination.
The affected students were
considered ineligible by the
bursary department of the
university to sit for the
examination because they had
reportedly not yet paid their
school fees.
According to the Students Union
Government of the institution on
Tuesday, preliminary
investigations into the N30m
school fees fraud linked
Chalokwo, a former student of the
university, now performing his
NYSC programme in Zamfara, of
executing 70 per cent of the
fraud.
“More than 70 per cent of the
students swindled of their school
fees said they paid to Fidelis
Chalokwo, who is now
performing his NYSC programme
in Zamfara,” said Abubakar
Lawan, the SUG Vice-President.
He added that Chalokwo who was
wanted to account for his crime,
claimed he had left the country.
The SUG VP said the varsity
believed the suspect was still in
the country and in Zamfara.
The Dean, Student Affairs,
MAUTECH, Yola, Dr. Haruna Lawan,
said over N30m was involved,
adding that most of the students,
instead of using their Automated
Teller Machine cards to make the
payments, gave cash to the online
vendors who turned out to be
fraudsters.
He said the least of the school
fees involved was N30,700, while
other victims of the scams paid as
much as N37,800 in school fees
which never hit the school
account.
However, Chalokwo, posting on
his Facebook page, said the
management of MAUTECH was
trying to cover its ineptitude by
using the 940 students to make
up for its shortfall in revenues.
He dismissed any wrongdoing on
his part.
He said, “The university should
instead get the incompetent
Flexisaf to account for the 940
failed registration rather than its
current manhunt for me and my
colleagues. But whatever you
want to believe, please, note that
my colleagues and I successfully
paid your fees and registered for
your courses for 2016 session.
“Let the FLEXISAF ICT explain the
rest. It is a pity that the school
bursar or management or
whosoever is encouraging the
manhunt of students cannot have
a deep introspection and get the
incompetent FLEXISAF to account
for whatever losses the school
probably must have recorded. The
dubious list of 940 failed
registration is the worst
conspiracy theory ever.” |
