The institution released a two-batch result verification list, indicating that the affected students were from various departments, including Mass Communication, Pharmaceutical Technology, Marketing, Science Laboratory Technology, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Accountancy.
Some of the fake results were reportedly obtained from institutions such as The Polytechnic, Ibadan, The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa, and Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa, Oyo State.
Verification Process and Institution's Response
The institution's Public Relations Officer, ‘Yemi Ajibola, stated that the verification was part of the polytechnic's process to authenticate documents submitted by admitted students.
Ajibola noted that the delay in the release of results was due to the verification process, which revealed that some results were fake.
"We have our internal mechanisms for verifying results submitted by every student of the polytechnic. Some of the results had yet to be verified because the schools they came from had yet to confirm their results, while some of the results were found to be fake," Ajibola said.
He added that the students with fake results would be allowed to defend their results before any final action was taken.
Institutional Closure and Government Dispute
The polytechnic announced its indefinite closure on Monday over a planned protest by the students.
The Ogun State Government and MAPOLY students disagreed over an alleged attack by the students on the state's Deputy Governor, Mrs Noimot Salako-Oyedele.
While the government claimed that the deputy governor narrowly escaped an attack, the students alleged that her security detail fired shots at them during the confrontation.
