A Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja has convicted and sentenced Samson Orijugo, the provost of Adonai Advanced Institute of Management, to three years’ imprisonment for forgery. The judge ruled that Orijugo forged a result notification on Lagos State University (LASU) letterhead to mislead a student and falsely represent that the institute was affiliated with LASU. [1]Justice Modupe Nico‑Clay convicted Orijugo on a two‑count charge of forgery, holding that the prosecution proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The offence, which took place in 2015 at Badagry, involves forging a result notification issued to a student, John Chibuzor Okoro, using LASU’s credentials to gain an advantage. [1]Orijugo was arraigned on December 2, 2021, and the trial commenced onMarch 8, 2022. The prosecution called multiple witnesses and tendered several exhibits, while Orijugo took the stand in his defence. The court found that the institute had no affiliation with LASU, contrary to the representations made by the convict. [1]Citations:1.
