Management of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) has debunked rumors circulating online claiming the institution had asked a 400-level student, Peace Ufuoma, who is under probe for alleged exam malpractice, to rewrite her exams from 200 Level.
The report also alleged that the school management is of the opinion that Peace Ufuoma be used as a scapegoat to tell every student of the University of Benin that examination malpractices are not allowed within her walls.
Ufuoma had earlier wore a controversial shirt with the inscription “aggressive malpractice brought me this far” during her signing out parade.
The institution spokesperson, Benedicta Adeola Ehanire, has said there is no report yet from the panel set up.
She said, “The current report online is fake. The University is following due process; panels have been set up to investigate her claims and the panels are yet to submit their report to the management who will consider the report. It is not something as straightforward as people are portraying it to be. The University is following due process.”
The Department of Microbiology, University of Benin constituted a committee to probe the results of the female student, who marked her graduation in a controversial shirt.
