the Federal Ministry of Education, Abayomi Owoyale, after giving him
money to secure teaching jobs.
Owoyale, who is currently in detention at the State Department of
Criminal Investigation, Yaba, Lagos State, was said to have sold each
of the letters, purportedly signed by the permanent secretary of the
ministry, for N60,000.
While some paid in cash, others reportedly paid into a Zenith Bank
account number 2170004060, bearing Fajemisin Olakunle Owoyale.
it was learnt that the suspect made first contact with his
unsuspecting victims in the Agbado area of Ogun State on March 15,
2016, claiming that a politician in Abuja had given him 50 appointment
letters to sell to those interested in teaching at federal secondary
schools.
It was gathered that two parents bought the forged appointment letters
for their unemployed four children, who are university graduates,
Nigeria College of Education and National Diploma holders, while other
youths with the same qualifications paid to Owoyale directly for
'jobs'.
In the appointment letter, it was stated that the candidates would
resume work on May 9 on an annual salary of N845,200.
