The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has disclosed that 17 deputy vice chancellors (DVC), deputy Registrars, including four JAMB’s workers, are in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Oloyede revealed this while speaking at the Batch C pre-mobilisation workshop organised by NYSC in Abuja on Monday where he also brought into public view that 15,000 candidates are under prosecution for allegedly forging their admission letters to enable them qualified for the national youth service.
“One day, I ran to your predecessor (referring to DG of the NYSC) because I couldn’t believe that 15,000 candidates forged admission letters.
“As I speak with you, some deputy registrars are being tried by the ICPC. Some deputy vice – chancellors, not less than 17, including four JAMB staff members, are in prison custody. We took them to the ICPC. Those who want to go to jail should do so knowingly, not by accident,” the Registrar stated.
He added: “I want to advice you: follow the rules and you will have less problems. I suggest you follow the right path and you will see that most of the problems that are self-created by you will be eliminated.”
