Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s Registrar, has distanced himself from friend requests received from profiles on social media that appear to be his, claiming that he neither owns nor manages any such accounts.

Oloyede made this declaration in a statement released by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the board’s head of public affairs and protocol, on Friday.
The statement said: “The Board’s attention has been raised to a LinkedIn account that sends friend requests to members of the public and claims to be the account of Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). This scheme was developed with the express purpose of taking advantage of trusting members of the public.

“The Board wishes to state that Prof. Is-haq Oloyede does not own or operate any social media account and neither has he asked anybody to open or manage one on his behalf.

“LinkedIn is a social networking site designed specifically for the business community. As such, it should be noted that the goal of the site is to enable registered users to connect with people they know and trust professionally. Prof. Oloyede does not belong to this class of individuals nor intend to join.
“This disclaimer became necessary in view of some unscrupulous elements, who have purportedly opened a LinkedIn account on his behalf to hoodwink unsuspecting members of the public with their bogus claims of the erudite professor helping to network business enterprises, managing careers, providing jobs, running a research firm or connecting people with business contacts of firms or industry through the account.

“The Board urges the general public to be wary of these criminal elements so as not to fall victims to the scammers.”
