Varsity Declares Corps Member Wanted Over N30m School Fees Scam. by FavoredGuy: 7:56am 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.” |
