AKURE — The management of the Federal University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Akure (FUTATH), has vowed to prosecute any staff found involved in an alleged employment racketeering scheme linked to the hospital.
In a statement issued by the hospital’s Head of Public Relations, Mr. Tope Fayehun, the management alleged that some individuals posing as hospital officials collected between ₦200,000 and ₦600,000 from job seekers with promises of securing automatic employment at the newly established federal teaching hospital.
According to Fayehun, the victims were issued fake appointment letters purportedly from the former University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) Teaching Hospital, Akure.
He said available information indicated that unsuspecting applicants paid large sums of money and were later issued fraudulent employment letters.
