A shocking investigation has uncovered a fake drug test cartel operating in the shadows, preying on unsuspecting students. The syndicate, which claims to provide legitimate drug test results, has been found to be issuing fake certificates, putting the lives of students at risk.
Our investigation revealed that the cartel, which operates under the guise of a legitimate laboratory, has been collecting money from students in exchange for fake drug test results. The results, which are signed by a lab scientist who is not a certified Chemical Pathologist, do not correlate with the listed requirements directed by the University of Abuja Health Services Directorate.
"We were shocked to discover that the lab was issuing fake results without even collecting urine specimens from the students," said a source close to the investigation. "It's a clear case of fraud, and we're worried about the implications for the students who have fallen victim to this scam."
One student, who wished to remain anonymous, shared his harrowing experience with our investigative team. "They asked me to bring N13,500, and in a few minutes, the results were ready," he said. "When I asked them if they had collected my urine specimen, they just laughed and said it wasn't necessary."
The student's experience is not an isolated incident. Our investigation has uncovered a pattern of fraud and deception, with multiple students coming forward to share similar stories.
The University of Abuja Health Services Directorate has issued a warning to students, advising them to only undergo drug tests with certified Chemical Pathologists or Toxicologists. "We urge all students to be cautious and not risk their money and health by patronizing fake laboratories," said a spokesperson for the directorate.
As the investigation continues, we urge students to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The fake drug test cartel may have been busted, but the threat to students' lives and well-being remains.
