Two elderly men who posed themselves as lecturers and sold lecture notes and text books to unsuspecting first year students of Bayero University have been arrested.
The suspects, David Iluebe from Edo State and Chike Eke from Delta State are reported to have entered one of the lecture halls at the Faculty of Engineering on July 25, 2024 and introduced themselves to the Level 100 students as lecturers of the department.
‘Thereafter, they presented a set of four different textbooks on the Use of English, Statistics, Nigerian People and Culture, and lastly, Algebra and Geometry Mathematics threatening the students to purchase these books as a requirement for their Continuous Assessment (CA) otherwise they’ll fail their courses’, authorities said and added that;
‘The apprehensive students present in the hall responded by buying several copies to meet the course requirement’ but the set of books confiscated were of poor quality and believed to have been pirated.
Campus security operatives arrested them following a report.
According to authorities, during preliminary investigation, the suspect ‘confessed to all the allegations leveled against them, revealing that they were hustling to make a living due to lack of a job’.
They further disclosed that ‘this was the second time they were coming to the state, having been to the Kano State Polytechnic earlier this year’.
