“Some admission fraud syndicates at the University of Benin have been uncovered.
“Members of the syndicates parade themselves as admission officers of the university and engage in admission racketeering and falsification of admission documents.

“The university management reiterates that the admission process at the University of Benin is free of charge and advises members of the public to be wary of fraudsters,” the spokesperson said in the statement. (www.nannews.ng)
