Babcock University Takes Legal Action Against Carter Efe over Alleged Certificate Forgery

The university said the document is fake and warned that anyone using forged certificates could face civil and criminal action.

  • On Monday, Babcock University labeled a circulating 'Honorary Certificate' fake, warning the public against accepting the document allegedly issued to Nigerian comedian Oderhohwo Joseph Efe, known as Carter Efe.
  • Carter Efe previously asserted he graduated from the Ilishan-Remo school with a 'First Class Upper' degree in Biochemistry, prompting the university's response to social media claims.
  • Babcock University stated the document contains clear errors, including a non-existent 'First Class Upper' classification and a fake 'Babcock University Biochemistry Computer Club' organization.
  • The university announced it is pursuing legal action against those responsible, warning that producing or using forged documents is a serious offense with potential civil and criminal consequences.
  • Employers and professional bodies should verify academic documents directly through the Office of the Registrar, as Babcock University does not issue 'Honorary Certificates' for undergraduate performance.
