Examinations have reportedly confessed to spending over
N 20 m to construct a radio platform with which they
hacked into JAMB ’s registration portal .
Saturday PUNCH had reported that the Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps arrested no less than five
individuals who had deployed fake biometric capturing
machines to register applicants .
The Spokesperson of the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board, Dr . Fabian Benjamin , in a
statement issued in Abuja on Saturday, said, “These
registration thieves deployed fake biometric capturing
mechanisms and super -imposed registration slips just to
satisfy the curiosity of innocent candidates that their
registration was successful
“And on the day of examination, such candidates’ data
would either be edited, or not found on the JAMB data
base.
“Such candidates would not be verified during the
examination proper . ”
Benjamin disclosed that the fraudsters were arrested
variously in Oyo, Ogun and Maiduguri by officers and
men of the NSCDC and brought to Abuja .
During their interrogations in Abuja , Benjamin said, the
suspects gave startling revelations of how they conducted
their operations .
“While being paraded in the presence of the Commandant
-General of NSCDC, Abdullahi Gana Mohamadu , the
fraudsters confessed to numerous registration infractions
that JAMB couldn ’t imagine,” Benjamin said.
