An undercover Journalist, Umar Audu, has revealed the exact figure he spent to secure a Cotonou-based university degree in less than two months.
Recall that the investigative journalist with Daily Nigeria newspaper reported recently that he bagged a degree within six weeks of being admitted into one of such universities and also served as a corps member in the National Youth Service Corps with the certificate obtained.
The undercover journalist stated that he received both the transcript and certificate of the Ecole Superieure de Gestion et de Technologies, Cotonou, Benin Republic, after only six weeks.
In an interview with Channels Television on Wednesday, he stated that it is worrisome that the security system in Nigeria does not give journalists the confidence to do their job without fear of victimization.
Audu revealed that he spent almost N600,000 to get a Bachelor of Science degree from a Benin Republic institution in two months.
When asked how much he spent to acquire the fake certificate, Umar said, “I spent roughly N600,000. I did not go to the border; I only gave an immigration officer to help me get an ECOWAS passport and a backdated stamp of Nigerian Immigration and Republic du Benin, which I spent N150,000.”
