College Provost in court over alleged fraud

A Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Zaria on Tuesday heard a case of criminal conspiracy and cheating brought against the Provost of the City College of Health Science and Technology, Zaria, Mr. Sankyai Obadiah.

Some students of the college had instituted the case when they discovered that the school was not accredited and approved by the relevant authorities, yet the management went ahead to admit them as students.

The counsel of the appellants, Barrister Hussaini Abdu, said the action of the college was injurious to the future ambition of his clients, as the management were aware that the college was an illegal institution but admitted his clients as students.

In his response, the counsel of the defendant, Barrister Yusuf Sambo, challenged the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the charges.
