Adebayo’s dismissal followed investigation into alleged certificate racketeering by the authorities of the school after the Personal Assistant to a federal lawmaker from Kogi State(name withheld) during interrogation by the police over alleged murder and threat to life, exposed his boss.
The lawmaker, a member of the House of Representatives, was allegedly a beneficiary of the syndicate.
Subsequently, Adebayo was arrested on the allegation of selling diploma certificate to the lawmaker, by the State Crime Investigation Division (SCID).
“After he was release on bail, he resigned his appointment but the college rejected it and dismissed him. If he is on bail, the police should look for him. We don’t know anything about his whereabouts. When his house was searched, all manner of college materials were found,” Yabatech Director of Public Relations and Media, Dr. Charles Oni, said when he confirmed Adebayo’s sack to newsmen.
