THE Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission and the National University Commission on Friday arrested the proprietor of Richmond Open University, Enugu, “Professor” Mazi Chris Okoro for allegedly operating an illegal institution.

Also arrested were the son of the university’s proprietor and four other staff of the institution.

The ICPC officials also interrogated a Reverend Sister in-charge of the Luminary International Centre for Health and Alternative Medicine which had metamorphosed into Society for Energy Health with its headquarters at Mgbowo in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The ICPC officials who raided the university located at 31, Ziks Avenue, Enugu, immediately handed over the suspects to the police at Uwani Police Divisional Headquarters, Enugu.

Items recovered from them included a large quantity of West African Examination Council and diploma certificates, doctorates, masters and bachelors’ degrees as well as honorary doctorate degrees.

It was learnt that Okoro who claimed that he bagged his professorship by “convention” instead of merit, said he could not remember the total number of his graduates in each academic session.

When asked to name his the vice-chancellor as well as members the senate committee of the institution, he said he could not recollect the names of any of the principal officers.

Okoro reportedly said, “I do not have any registration with NUC because I opened this school as a distant learning institution. This university has been operating since 2005 when a court gave judgement in my favour.”

feelamong: EFCC should better leave that guy alone and go to Abuja to arrest those looting our common wealth!

Wetin the guy do? when person in his right sences decide to go and throw away their money is it the man;'s fault?

How can one go to that one room office and say he is registering into a university?

damn!

Numero uuuno: With the nations pathetic
judiciary,they'll be out in N̶̲̥̅̊☺ time

hardbody:

Must you ascribe everything negative to this country? How does what has just happened affect the judiciary? From what i read, they said the proprietor was handed over to the police, do you have judges or even magistrates sitting at police stations? has the guy been charged to court?

Can you learn the rudiments of how some processes work before you start typing 'rabbish'? As a principle, i do not comment on every thread or post especially if i do not know next to nothing about what to say or where i have no comment or opinion. That is the most mature thing to do. Stop parading ignorance, it belittles you. And this is assuming you have any substance. by the way, teh offence is bailable, so do not complain when the guy gets bail within 24 hours. it is his constitutional right.
