One Kola Al-Amin, a former staff of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB has been arrested by EFCC for alleged forgery and obtaining money by false pretenses.
Kola, who operates with the name “Cool Technologies Consult Limited” with office located at No.4/900, Taiwo House, Second Floor, Yemetu Total Garden, Ibadan, Oyo State, was picked up after a petition was sent alleging that he had gone to a microfinance bank (name withheld) with a Local Purchasing Order (LPO) to supply internet hardware which he claimed was from JAMB headquarters, Abuja. This allegedly happened in November 2010.
He had requested that he be a loan of 10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) to finance the LPO.
It was further alleged that Kola was granted the loan with the agreement that the money got will be paid directly into his account with the microfinance bank. He, however, allegedly disappeared and further investigation about the LPO in JAMB headquarters, Abuja, revealed that the LPO provided by the suspect was forged and that he was no longer a staff of the organization.
He will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.
