Universities To Avoid In Nigeria

Universities To Avoid In Nigeria

Parents should avoid certain universities for various reasons, including involvement in cultism, fraud, and other atrocities. Additionally, there is a surprising university on this list of four.

• OLABISI ONABANJO UNIVERSITY

Get this: Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) has been making some serious headlines lately. And not in a good way. You won’t believe it, but in just the last few years, the EFCC has caught over 100 students from this university involved in cybercrime.

And get this, back in 2018, they even found fish shells and black fruits inside three white calabashes during a bust that led to the arrest of 28 individuals.

As if that wasn’t enough, they also recovered a whopping 300 SIM cards from these tech-savvy culprits. The EFCC even took to their Facebook page to announce the arrest of 23 students at No 21, Sawmill Road Awa-Ijebu, Ogun State. Crazy, right?

What To Do If I Don’t Understand What Is Being Taught In Class

• LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY

Hold onto your hats, folks, because I’ve got some shocking news for you about Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH).

Brace yourselves: this school has one of the highest concentrations of cybercriminals in Nigeria! That’s right, many of its students have repeatedly been caught and arrested by the police for getting involved in internet fraud, which has unfortunately become more prevalent in the south-west, especially in Ogbomosho where LAUTECH is located.

Even the DSS Boss had some words to say about this alarming situation during a seminar. According to reports, he claimed that most of the cybercriminals in the whole of Nigeria can be found right there at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho.

• FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, ABEOKUTA

In October, the Punch Newspaper reported that the EFCC agents raided student apartments in Abule-Ojereb to cart away a car and laptops that were believed to be used for internet fraud. Unfortunately, they could not get their hands on the suspected internet fraudsters living in those apartments.

Can you believe it? This raid was part of a larger operation that took place in Safari, Abule-Ojere, Gbokoniyi, Kemta, and Alabata, all located in Abeokuta, which are reportedly dominated by FUNAAB students.

But that’s not all, the DSS has even noted that the cybercrime committed in this school is done by syndicates who use identity theft, hacking, stocking, malicious software, and other dubious means to gain access to people’s sensitive information and account details.

Yikes, sounds like the wild west of the internet out there in FUNAAB.

• BABCOCK UNIVERSITY

Get this, folks: Babcock University has been making headlines lately for all the wrong reasons. You may have heard about the recent sex video scandal that rocked the university, but did you know that this prestigious institution is also notorious for cybercrime? That’s right, the police have repeatedly arrested students from Babcock for getting involved in internet fraud.

In fact, according to Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC spokesperson, the anti-graft agency has even gone as far as arresting 30 students in separate operations. Looks like Babcock’s got some serious cleaning up to do if it wants to shed its reputation for scandalous behavior.
