Five applicants were on Monday arrested for presenting fake certificates at the ongoing screening for the Kwara State teachers’ recruitment exercise in Ilorin, the state capital.

The arrests were made as the government commenced the result verification/interview phase of the exercise.

The five applicants are Tanu Suleiman, a disengaged teacher; Ibrahim Salihu, Mohammed Ismaila, Mohammed Abubakar, all from Baruten Local Government Area and Abdulrasaq Abdulakeem (Asa).

While Suleiman, Ismaila and Abubakar were caught with fake NCE results from Kwara State College of Education (Technical), Lafiagi, the duo of Salihu and Abdulraheem were caught with fake NCE results from Kwara State College of Education, Oro.

The applicants, the ministry said have been handed over to security agencies for further investigation.

Meanwhile, applicants from Ilorin South, Isin, Oke Ero, Ekiti who had earlier been scheduled to appear for the interview and results verification on Tuesday, March 16 have been rescheduled for Monday, March 22.

“This is due to the fact that the Monday exercise started a bit behind schedule, so the panels were only able to interview applicants from Asa and Baruten LGAs.

“Therefore, applicants from Edu and Patigi will now be attended to on Tuesday, March 16.

“The government regrets the inconveniences this may cause to everyone involved,” according to a statement from the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development.

“What this means, therefore, is that applicants from Ilorin South, Isin, Oke Ero, and Ekiti local governments that were earlier booked for Tuesday will be attended to next Monday, March 22.

“Similarly, the TESCOM interview/result verification will now start next Tuesday, March 23rd, instead of Monday, March 22. Further information will be communicated as may be necessary.”

A total of 9,991 applicants hit the cutoffs in the two categories of the recruitment exercise, therefore qualifying them for the results verification/interview stage of the process.

The figures comprise 5,116 (SUBEB applicants) and 4,875 (TESCOM applicants).
