Governing Council of Federal Polytechnic Mubi Faces N100 million Corruption Allegations




The Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, Adamawa State, has been accused of corrupt practices and arbitrary spendings by its governing council.

The call for probe was made by human rights lawyer, Mohammad Aliyu, on behalf of Mubi concerned citizens.

The lawyer asked the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences commission (ICPC) to investigate the expenditure of the governing council of the Federal Polytechnic Mubi.

Aliyu alleged gross violation of extant Rules and Regulations in the Management, distribution and reckless spending of scarce resources of the institution.

The petition noted that this development is contrary to the provisions of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.

"To be more specific, the Polytechnic has spent over N100,000,000 on protocol services within the two months since the Council Chairman and his members took over".

"If this pattern is allowed to continue without proper investigation, it means the Council is projected to spend a whopping N600,000,000 on protocol alone within 12 Months".

The Polytechnic council was also accused of procuring services of two private companies to manage the institution portal against provision of the law.

"The Council Chairman, without following due process of the law and contrary to all procurement laws, has procured the services of two private companies to oversee the management of the Polytechnic Portal, and the provision of Private Security Services to the Polytechnic by a Private Guards' Outfit.”

“The company engaged to manage the Portal is to charge each student the sum of N5000.00 only per session while the Private Guards engaged are to be paid the sum of N100,000 per guard every month.”

“The act of committing both the institution and the students to these avoidable financial burdens is alarming and a clear path to anarchy within the polytechnic community.” the petition noted.

Auchi, Edo State – In a disturbing turn of events that has gripped social media and triggered national outrage, a lecturer at Auchi Polytechnic, Mr. Ehigie Timothy, of the Department of Statistics, was filmed naked and physically assaulted after being lured into what now appears to be a well-orchestrated ambush by a female neighbour and her husband, Mr. Aliyu Suleiman Lucky AKA "As E Dey Hot", not a student of the institution as previously speculated. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, 3rd July 2025, raises serious concerns about the rising trend of mob justice, the legality of viral content, and the alleged attempted extortion of ₦3 million from the victim. What Really Happened? Contrary to earlier claims that the woman was a student of Auchi Polytechnic, verified voice notes now confirm she is a neighbour to Mr. Ehigie Timothy. According to the woman’s own words—captured in three viral audio messages—she admitted to working with her husband and some vigilante member...

Speaking in Kikuyu during a Madaraka Day celebration, Governor Kihika explained her decision, citing personal discomfort with being attended to by medical staff who work under her administration. “All doctors and nurses are under me.
