Bayelsa Medical University BMU
BMU Warns Public About Fake Admission Pages 2025/2026

Bayelsa Medical University (BMU) is alerting students, parents, and the general public about fake online pages pretending to publish the 2025/2026 admission lists and sell illegal “supplementary forms.” These scammers use the university’s name and logo to appear genuine, but they are not connected to BMU in any way. EducationNGR also learnt that the fake pages have recently increased their activities, especially on social media.

Below is the revised article—headline rewritten, no table of contents, no promo lines, and following your preferred structure.

What the BMU Admission Scam Is About

Fake Facebook pages and sponsored online ads are impersonating Bayelsa Medical University. These pages falsely claim to:

  • Release the 2025/2026 admission list

  • Offer “supplementary forms” for sale

  • Provide “quick admission” in exchange for payment

Their goal is to deceive students and families into sending money or personal information.

How the Scam Targets Students

Many students rely on social media for admission updates, and the scammers use this to their advantage by:

  • Posting fake announcements such as “BMU 2025/2026 admission list now out”

  • Sharing personal phone numbers and pretending they belong to BMU staff

  • Requesting payments via WhatsApp, bank transfers, or personal accounts

  • Using the BMU logo to appear authentic

Some of these pages even run paid promotions, making them more visible and seemingly credible.

What BMU Never Does During Admission

Understanding what the university does not do helps students stay safe. BMU does not:

  • Announce admission through private phone numbers

  • Use random, unverified social media pages for official updates

  • Sell admission slots or “supplementary forms” through individuals

  • Request payment into personal bank accounts or WhatsApp numbers

Any page or person doing these things is fraudulent.

Official BMU Sources for Admission Updates

Real information about BMU admission only comes from the following official channels:

  • The verified BMU Facebook Page

  • The official BMU website

  • The BMU Admission Office on campus

  • The university’s official email communications

If an update does not come from these sources, it should not be trusted.

Signs That a BMU Admission Page Is Fake

Students can easily identify fake BMU pages by checking for:

  • Slightly altered page names pretending to be BMU

  • Very few posts, low activity, or no verifiable history

  • Posts urging students to “rush” and pay for admission

  • Personal mobile numbers instead of official office lines

  • Requests to send money via WhatsApp or private messages

  • Poor spelling, grammar, or suspicious wording

If two or more of these signs appear, the page is almost certainly fake.

What To Do When You See a Fake BMU Admission Ad

Anyone who comes across a fake page should follow these safe steps:

  • Do not contact the numbers on the page

  • Do not send money or personal information

  • Avoid reposting the fake ad in a way that spreads it further

  • Use the social media platform’s Report feature immediately

  • Inform classmates and friends to prevent them from falling for the scam

  • Check the real BMU channels for any official notice

Reporting these pages helps reduce the spread of the scam and protects other students from being deceived.
