Delta varsity removes Kila’s profile from website over ‘fake professor’ controversy

The Pro-Chancellor of Michael and Cecilia Ibru University in Delta State, Anthony Kila, had his profile and photographs removed from the university's website due to allegations that he falsely used the title of professor. The university's website had displayed Kila's information alongside that of its proprietress, Cecilia Ibru, and Vice-Chancellor, Ibiyinka Fuwape, who is a recognized professor.

The university's removal of Kila's profile came after the investigative news outlet PREMIUM TIMES found no evidence that any accredited university had awarded Kila the title of professor, despite his long-standing use of the title. This development has sparked further questions about the university's stance on the allegations, though the institution has yet to release a public statement addressing the investigation.
