A civil society organisation (CSO), Youth and Leadership Initiatives, in a petition dated May 23, 2023, addressed to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Garki, Abuja, had alleged that Dr Dankaka presented false information to the Presidency and the National Assembly to secure the chairmanship of the FCC.

Part of the petition reads: “We are a non-profit organization focusing on leadership and public accountability in Nigeria. It’s upon these objectives we are writing your office to intimate you of the noticeable falsification of certificate, identity falsification and presentation of false information on oath against Dr Moheeba Farida Dankaka on which her appointment was made and confirmed by Mr President and the Senate.

“That “Dr.”Muheeba Farida Dankaka OON presented a number of documents that are inconsistent with each other. These are as follows:

“Dr.” Muheeba (Farida) Dankaka refers to herself as ‘Dr’. When in actual fact she holds no Ph.D degree in any recognized university. The acclaimed Honorary Doctor of Philosophy which she holds was issued by an institution that was not recognized and or accredited by the National Universities Commission. National Universities Commission had declared Pacific Western University. Denver, Colorado, USA, Owerri study campus as illegal and thereby shut it down. Meanwhile Dr. Muheeba Farida Dankaka was issued with the certificate in 2007 and her name appears as MUHEEBA H. DANKAKA. This name is also at variance with the present name she bears ‘Dr. Muheeba Farida Dankaka.

“On the face of the Master’s degree certificate copy attached to her Curriculum Vitae, her name is Muiba Nike Salau. This name is at variance with the present name she bears ‘Dr. Muheeba Farida Dankaka.

“On the face of the first-degree certificate dated August, 1986, her name is Muibat Adenike Salawu. This is also at variance with the name she claimed to bear and supplied to the Presidency and the Senate during screening and the name with which she officially signs all documents. Conversely, her name on the NYSC discharge certificate which reads Salau, Mulbat Nike’ls also at variance with the name on the first-degree certificate which reads Mulbat Adenike Salawu.

“On the face of the West African Examinations Council School Certificate obtained in 1978, her name is ‘Salawu Muibat Adenike’. This is also at variance with the name she claimed to bear and supplied to the Presidency and the Senate during screening and the name with which she officially signs all documents.”

Following the petition and public outcry generated by the alleged discrepancies in the names on her different certificate, the police in a letter with a reference number 3000/X/FHQ/ABJ/PSFU/BIFF/VOL.51/014, dated January 8, 2024, signed by DCP Tahir Usman P, 3p Deputy Commissioner of Police on behalf of Commissioner of Police (PSFU), Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), invited Dr Moheeba Farida Dankaka for questioning.

Dankaka was grilled at the FCID from 12noon till after 5pm and she was asked to report back on January 17, 2024 with her original certificates.
