Two men and owners of a computer-based test centre, Vision
Computer Academy, located on 1, Ganiyu Adeboyejo Close, Eputu London, Eputu Bus
Stop, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, Mr. Bamigbade Ajibola and Amoo Moshood were on
Saturday night arrested in Lagos for engaging in illegal registration of
candidates for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The arrest, which was carried out by men of the Nigerian Police
from Adeniji Adele Police Station, Lagos Island, was made possible after a
tip-off from members of the public that Lagos Island Primary School, Sura, was
being used for the illegal registration exercise.
According to the Coordinator of the Lagos Office of the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Mr. Sunday Aladegbaye, the accused,
whose CBT centre was legally accredited for the exercise, had moved its router
and computer systems to an illegal location to engage in fraudulent practices
and extortion of candidates.
Both Ajibola and Moshood have been detained at the police station and according
to Aladegbayi they would be charged to court on Monday.
The JAMB coordinator warned that the examination body is
determined to fish out the bad eggs who may be working towards thwarting its
efforts at standardising the conduct of examination and admission processes in
Nigeria.
