By Samuel Abulude

Nigerian skit maker Oderohiwo Joseph Efe, better known as Carter Efe, has gotten himself into trouble after a private University, Babcock, threatened legal action against him.

Following rapper, Ycee's viral statement about an Olodo Uprising in Nigeria, Carter Efe during his livestream, claimed Babcock University had awarded him an honorary certificate

In a press statement on its official Instagram page, the reputable university distanced itself from the certificate circulating online, describing it as fraudulent.

The University said the purported "Honorary Certificate" claiming to award him "First Class Upper" didn't originate from the institution.

Babcock clarified that it doesn't issue honorary certificates for undergraduate academic performance and that it has no degree classification known as "First Class Upper"; its highest academic certification is First Class Honours.

The institution urged members of the public, employers, and other institutions to disregard the document and verify academic credentials through the Office of the Registrar.
