The ensuing scandal has also seen several staff and students under investigation with about 12 suspected admission racketeers telling investigators what they know about the fake admission.
Trouble started when the Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB, observed that its admission portal had been compromised leadinto the tracing of fewer than 230 fake admission letters to IMSU.
According to details obtained by Trumpeta, this ugly development forced JAMB to get ICPC involved who in turn stormed the institution where those involved, especially, the staff members were arrested.
