At least 238 students of Imo State University (IMSU) have been named for expulsion over alleged fake admission letters.
Ralph Njoku, the spokesperson of the university, confirmed the development in a statement on Tuesday.
Njoku claimed the affected students connived with their parents and guardians and fraudulently hacked into JAMB and IMSU websites.
He said they printed “fake admission letters” to pose as students of IMSU.
Njoku said the university management is looking to deal decisively with any lecturer or admissions officer who aided the fraudulent act.
“The said candidates who are flaunting fake admission letters are not our students. Parents should note that the actions of these swindlers greatly jeopardized the future of their children and wards,” the statement reads.
“We know our students who are legally admitted into the university but names of those who are fraudulently parading fake admission letters have been published in some local tabloids for the public to take note of.
“The institution is still investigating how the two hundred and thirty-eight students were illegally admitted into Imo State University.”
