Kwara State University has since distanced itself from the illicit centre, emphasizing that it has no connection with the fraudulent establishment.

The police boss said, “Detectives of the Criminal Investigations Department, on February 18, received credible intelligence that some syndicates are illegally and unlawfully operating the Kwara State University study centre in Ado-Ekiti, where several Bachelor and Master degrees were issued to unsuspecting members of the public.

“Two suspects were arrested, namely Adesanmi Sunday and Akinola Olaolu, in connection with the crime. They both conspired to defraud some students and issued fake certificates.
