Dino Melaye, has deepened. Senator Dino Melaye Punch reports that documents it
obtained through painstaking and thorough investigations showed that the
embattled senator has a Bachelor of Arts certificate in Geography from the
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna state.

scandal began on Monday, March 20, 2017
when an online news medium, Sahara Reporters, in a tweet alleged that the
senator did not graduate from ABU for his first degree, against his claim that
he studied Geography in the prestigious institution.
The news medium also alleged that Melaye, who is the
Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory, bribed his Head of
Department, who assisted him to forge his transcript. In a series of tweets via
its Twitter handle, @SaharaReporters, the online news medium said some
lecturers in the Geography Department insisted that Melaye did not graduate
from the department and that his name was not on the graduation list because he
failed five compulsory courses. Following the report, which gained traction
speedily, Melaye dismissed the allegations, daring the news medium to sue him
if it had authentic evidence to back its claims.

“SaharaReporters, please sue me
and ABU if it is true that I did not graduate from Zaria. Tell Magu (EFCC
Chairman) to arrest and prosecute me.”

student in ABU pursuing his seventh degree, adding, “Go round all the UNIS
(universities) I attended in digging more.” Dino Melaye certificate A day after
the news broke, Melaye, while speaking on the floor of the Senate, also
addressed himself as an “authentic graduate” of ABU.
Meanwhile, Punch said that when it
contacted ABU to verify the conflicting information, the institution’s
Information Officer, Adamu Mohammed, promised that the institution would come
out with its position on Wednesday March 22, which it failed to do as of the
time of filing this report.
