A Kwara State High Court Sitting in Ilorin has remanded one Mustapha Ilyas Abdulwasiu, a suspended lecturer with the Federal Polytechnic, Offa, Kwara State on offences bordering on employment scam and obtaining money under false pretence.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ilorin Zonal Office on Tuesday arraigned Mustapha on a nine-count charge before Justice Sikiru Oyinloye.
The EFCC alleged that the defendant, who is a suspended lecturer in the Accounting Department at the institution, had at different times this year defrauded many job seekers, majorly couples under a false pretence of helping them to secure employments at the institution.
The 36-year-old lecturer however pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him.
Justice Oyinloye said bail application should be filed and adjourned the hearing till November 7.
Meanwhile, the lecturer, according to the Offa Poly management, has been suspended and recommended for dismissal.
