Babcock University has initiated legal action against Nigerian streamer Carter Efe over allegations of certificate forgery.
The controversy began after Carter Efe claimed in an interview with Egungun of Lagos that he graduated with top honors from the private institution.
To back his claims, he shared a purported Biochemistry degree on X, boasting a “First Class Upper” classification a grading tier that the university public notice explicitly stated does not exist in its academic system.
Reacting to the development in a public statement released on Sunday, Babcock University described the claim as false.
While informing the public that the institution “has no classification known as First Class Upper”, it however stated that “The University will pursue appropriate legal action against those responsible for these forgeries.”
“FRAUD ALERT, Babcock University does not issue “Honorary Certificates” for undergraduate performance and has no classification known as “First Class Upper.
“Any document claiming otherwise is fraudulent and should be disregarded. We urge the public to verify all credentials through the Office of the Registrar”, it stated.
