The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned the serving Provost of the Federal College of Education (Technical) in Zamfara State, Hauwau Abdulkarim, alongside a lecturer with the Sokoto State College of Education, Abdullahi Boyi, over alleged certificate forgery.
ICPC accused the two defendants of forging an appointment letter and subsequent use of the same for application for the position of the Provost at the college.
A statement released on Sunday by the commission’s spokesperson, Demola Bakare, noted that the defendants pleaded not guilty to the six charges preferred against them.
The trial judge, Justice Muhammad Sambo, after considering the applications, granted bail under specific conditions designed to ensure the defendants’ continued presence throughout the trial proceedings. The bail conditions require each defendant to provide two sureties who are permanent residents of Sokoto State, with each surety signing a bond of one million naira.
Justice Sambo adjourned the matter to November 21, 2024, when the hearing is set to begin.
