The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) successfully prosecuted Satiregun on a three-count charge of obtaining by false pretence under the Advance Fee Fraud Act.
The conviction follows revelations that between 2019 and 2021, his institution deceptively admitted students into non-accredited courses such as Nursing and Public Health.
Despite approval from the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for only four programs, the institution falsely promised international degree conversions and issued fraudulent admission letters.
Delivering judgment, Justice Anyalewa Onoja-Alapa ruled that the offences were clear-cut fraud and ordered all funds collected under false pretenses to be refunded. The judge further instructed the college to restrict operations strictly to NBTE-approved courses.

Police dismiss officers Anthony Obodo case has been confirmed as the Rivers State Police Command dismissed three of its officers linked to the killing of a 22-year-old University of Port Harcourt graduate, Anthony Obodo.
The State Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, disclosed this on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, while parading the three officers before journalists in Port Harcourt.
According to the command, the officers were linked to the incident that occurred last Thursday along Ada George in Port Harcourt, where Obodo was shot dead.
A member of the team, an inspector who fled after the shooting, has been declared a deserter.

The commissioner noted that he understood the concerns of Obodo’s family and members of the public, adding that the Command has taken appropriate disciplinary action against the police personnel involved.
