The management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta has denied any link with a cyber criminal convicted by the Federal High, Ibadan on Wednesday, Olalekan Oladapo Ogunremi.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arraigned Ogunremi before Justice Patricia Ajoku on a one-count amended charge of criminal impersonation.
He was sentenced to six month in prison as the court considered the appeal of his lawyer that he has misses two semesters examination during the course of the trial.
However, a statement by the institution on Thursday revealed that Ogunremi was never a student of the school as the school is not offering Mechanical Engineering at Higher National Diploma level.
The statement reads: “Attention of the Management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta has been drawn to reports of some online media and Newspapers of a cybercrime fraudster, Olalekan Oladapo Ogunremi, who claimed to be a student of MAPOLY.
We hereby wish to state unequivocally that the convict is *NOT* our student. We also want to place on record that, we do not offer Mechanical Engineering in Higher National Diploma programme as allegedly claimed in the report.
We did not have such name in our record but the closest details in our record to the published name is that of a student who got admission in 2014/2015 academic session for National Diploma programme and did not finish due to poor academic performance thereby, forfeited his studentship since 2017.
The general public is requested to note that the culprit is not a student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta.”
