The Police Command of Imo state has announced the arrest of 53-year-old man, Mr. Fidelis Chukwujindu for allegedly defrauding over 500 young boys and girls seeking admission tertiary institution.
The
suspect has reportedly floated an illegal and non-existing university
college hospital in Ogboko, which he claimed was an affiliation of a
university in the United Kingdom.
Mr.
Mohammed Katsina, the Police Commissioner of Imo state, met the
journalists at the premises of the non-existing university college
hospital
Mr.
Mohammed Katsina told the newsmen the suspect was arrested by the
intelligence unit of the command at the school premises when he was
conducting fake entrance examination for over 100 students who purchased
the admission forms at the sum of N8,000 each.
The suspect pretended to be both founder and vice chancellor of the non-existing institution.
Mr.
Chukwujindu defrauded young secondary school leavers, who really needed
to get admission into tertiary institution for continuation of their
education and study the course of their choice.
Mr.
Chukwujindu’s cover was blown, when the Imo state police command got
wind of the information and stormed the premises while conducting fake
entrance examination for the first batch of students who already paid
the sum of N8,000 each for the admission forms and examination fees.
The
Police Commissioner of Imo state expressed disappointment over the
incident, stating that the future of young people who are desperately in
pursuit of their educational career is being toiled with.
He also promised that Mr. Chukwujindu will be charged to court for further prosecution, after further investigations.

the suspect, Mr. Chukwujindu, denied the accusations, said he is a
trained medical practitioner and that the institution he heads has been
registered with the Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja. He added
that academic operations have not commenced due to setbacks.
