Cross Revers SUBEB Demotes Head Teacher Over Forgery
The Head teacher
of Obanjom Memorial Primary School, Ugep, Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross
River Mr. Obongho Linus Ikpi has been demoted to a classroom teacher.
His demotion was
ordered by the Cross River State Universal Basic Education Board (CR-SUBEB) for
payslip forgery.
The payslip was
purportedly forged to enable the suspect access computer allocation from the
Head of Service.
“SUBEB checked
records and discovered that the alleged deduction in the payslip was not
recorded there. Upon further interrogation, Ikpi confessed to having forged the
payslip,” a source said.
Confirming the
forgery, the Executive Chairman of SUBEB, Dr Stephen Odey who expressed
disappointment over the incident said, “This man came to my payroll unit with
this payslip claiming that some money was deducted from his salary for Computer
and when he went to Head of service to collect the computer, they told him to
come here for refunds because the money he was claiming wasn’t remitted to them
from SUBEB.”
Odey said the
demotion of the suspect was to serve as deterrent to others.
“To serve as a
deterrent, we have decided to demote and suspend him while investigations
continue. We have directed that the Executive Secretary should inform the
deputy to take over as head teacher with immediate effect”, Odey said.
Warning Teachers
to desist from all forms of criminality, Odey said the eagle eye of the Board
was upon them.
“We are setting
an eagle eye on teachers because from what he told us, we believe strongly that
others have either attempted to do this or are doing this”, he said.
In his
confessional Statement, Ikpi said, “I doctored pay advice for the month of
January 2018 with an amount of three thousand six hundred and ninety-five naira
for collection of computer equipment from Head of Service. The act was
discovered by SUBEB payroll staff”.
He however
appealed to the Board for forgiveness.
“I am pleading
that I should be forgiven for such obnoxious behaviour. It will never happen
again,” he appealed.
