PESHAWAR, Nov 30: The National Accountability Bureau, NWFP, has arrested a director of a private university, National Institute of Business Management (NIBM), on charges of deceiving students.

The accused, Rafiullah, was produced before an accountability court on Saturday, which remanded him in custody of the NAB for 12 days.

The NAB has also been looking for another official of the university, Abdullah, who has been evading arrest.

The NAB has claimed that the accused used to deceive students by providing them wrong information about affiliation of the university.

The accused allegedly told the students that the NIBM was affiliated with the Philippines Christian University based in Manila.

The accused used to attract students by telling them that they would be given foreign degrees.

When the students were deceived at a number of centres, including Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar, they contacted the NAB and requested them to start a probe against them.
