Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, has issued a warning over a fraudulent admission letter currently being circulated online and across social media platforms, stating that the document is fake and did not originate from the institution.
The warning was contained in a public notice issued by the University’s Management through its Communication Department. The institution urged prospective students, parents, guardians and members of the public to exercise caution and verify admission-related information through its approved channels.
Fake Babcock University Admission Letter in Circulation
According to the University, the fraudulent document is being presented as an official admission letter for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Babcock University clarified that the admission letter in circulation is not genuine and was not issued by the institution. Candidates are therefore advised not to rely on the document or take any action based on the information contained in it.
The University further stated that admission offers are not communicated through unofficial social media flyers, WhatsApp messages or other unauthorized platforms.
How Babcock University Communicates Admission Offers
The institution explained that its admission decisions are processed through its official admissions system.
Successful candidates receive their admission letters through approved institutional channels. Applicants are therefore encouraged to rely on information obtained directly from the University's official platforms rather than messages, flyers or documents shared by individuals claiming to represent the institution.
This is particularly important for candidates currently expecting admission for the 2026/2027 academic session.
University Denies ₦10,000 Payment Request
Babcock University also warned applicants about a payment request associated with the fraudulent admission scheme.

It specifically clarified that it has not authorised the payment of ₦10,000, or any other amount, into the Wema Bank account number 7353747257 or any account referenced in the fake admission document.
Applicants should therefore avoid transferring money to individuals or bank accounts presented through unofficial admission messages.
No Free Laptop and Textbook Admission Package
The University also addressed claims contained in the fraudulent admission communication regarding an admission package.
Babcock University stated that it has not introduced an admission package offering free laptops and textbooks.
Prospective students should consequently treat any admission offer containing such claims with caution and verify the information directly through the University's approved channels.

Applicants Advised to Verify Admission Information
