JAMB 2017 Registration Compromised By Hackers, 5 Persons Arrested by Zizaxbast(m): 11:45am On Apr 24, 2017 |
Five persons were reported to have been arrested by the
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for hacking
into the Board’s registration system and perpetrating various
registration fraud in the ongoing JAMB 2017 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME).
It was learnt that some of the suspects are licensed owners of
JAMB CBT Centres.
The suspects were arrested in Oyo, Ogun and Borno States by
officers and men of the NSCDC and brought to Abuja where
they are being interrogated.
According to JAMB spokesman, Dr Fabian, what is more
worrisome is the fact that these suspects invested heavily just
to penetrate the Airtel system JAMB is using to perpetrate all
forms of unwholesome practices.
"From investigation at the headquarters of the NSCDC, it was
clear that they had powerful men backing them to thwart the
efforts of JAMB. If not, how will you justify them spending
over N20 million to construct a radio platform just to hack
into the Board’s registration exercise if not to destroy the
entire system and put JAMB in bad light?"
"They register candidates without proper biometric and super-
imposed registration slip 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." "In Maiduguri, the Board discovered that their router meant for Abia was being used in Maiduguri to register candidates “Unknown to them, the access codes are personalised coupled with features to detect abuses aimed at circumventing the registration process. They fraudulently tried to manipulate the system to give a semblance of the Board platform to deceive candidates as if a valid registration have been carried out." Source : www.naijaschoolnewz.
