The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps has arrested a Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidate, Cletus Kokowa, for allegedly hiring a syndicate to upgrade his scores from 162 to 206.

The NSCDC arrested Kokowa on Thursday at the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, where he confessed that he was asked to pay N10,000 for the upgrading.


Our correspondent learnt that Kokowa, with Registration Number 95329290ED from Bayelsa State, contacted the syndicate through a WhatsApp group a few weeks ago after he learnt that they could upgrade his score from 162.

The syndicate later sent a fake result notification to Kokowa, stating that his score was now 206. When his UTME result however remained unchanged on the JAMB portal, Kokowa’s father, Garen, wrote a letter of complaint to the board asking for the rectification of his son’s scores.

The board thereafter invited Kokowa to come with the two results as proof, after which he confessed on Thursday to have employed a syndicate.

The candidate’s uncle, an army officer, who declined to give his name, accompanied Kokowa to the JAMB headquarters.

The boy was afterwards handed over to the NSCDC.

Our correspondent gathered that Kokowa had checked his UTME result 15 times and found that he scored 162, but he was convinced that there was an error from the board.

Kokowa told our correspondent that although he knew upgrading scores was an offence, he did not believe he would be caught.

He said, “Those people sent a mail to my electronic mail inbox that they could help me to upgrade my score. I then sent them my registration number and e-mail address. When the results were released and I checked, they showed me 206. Then, one of them called me and demanded payment.


“I later went to check and I found 162. I was confused. I had heard that upgrading scores was an offence, but I didn’t really believe it. I did not tell my father and my uncle about the syndicate.”

The JAMB Registrar, Oloyede, said the board would ensure the arrest and prosecution of candidates discovered to have engaged in fraudulent practices before, during and after the examination.

He said, “One of the popular claims candidates usually make is that JAMB issued two different UTME results to them. But I said it was a lie because this result was processed via information and communication technology.


“When this boy came with his complaint, I asked for his records to be brought and we discovered that he had contacted fraudsters who gave him a fake result. We discovered that the result given to him was an imposition of another candidate’s result on his own.

“He is with the NSCDC and he will be handed over to the police for prosecution.”

another serious Gobey for Mr kokowa.. u for don accept to faith say u don fail jamb now jamb go even jail u..but i pray that aspect of jail no come to reality.. in the first place you should have prepared for your exams instead of bribing pep to change your result for you..

Our rottenness starts even from the womb. Just imagine this one....if he had succeeded, he would be one of the empty heads in campus, sort his way out with money.

Tomorrow he becomes a politician, rig his way in, then begins to do what he knows best.....bribery, corruption, looting and nothing more.

Nigerians are all corrupt.... even the president who forged his Waec results.

He didn't know will be caught. Hia

And where is the syndicate? Arrest both of them

"The syndicate later sent a fake result notification to Kokowa, stating that his score was now 206. When his UTME result however remained unchanged on the JAMB portal, Kokowa’s father, Garen, wrote a letter of complaint to the board asking for the rectification of his son’s scores".......I shudder at the father's boldness.

Lazy and stupid Nigerian youth

The guy don enter 419. It's possible jamb officer is not involved in this.

Lol.


The father and the uncle are very dumb. Dodnt they know it was a crime. See as papa boldly call jamb. Maybe jes kne of those who doesnt believe the right path anymore.

I can imagine if this had happened to me men naa to shut up and cut my losses.

I should tell my father that I tried to upgrade exam when dem don mark finish.

That one is even worse than failing the exam, not only are you dumb you're also now a criminal.

Na die be that.

This is what happens when too much emphasis is laid on paper qualification. Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar and so many other great guys are all doing fine with little or no education at all. Na for Africa especially naija we carry education for head like cap and at the end of the day no job for poor man pikin. Fok education, fok JAMB and fok you that is reading this fok on this fokd up nairaland.

Last last na greed kill am!

His son probably lied to him that JAMB made a mistake.

Guys please avoid this fraudster who collected money from me last year and has since disappeared.All efforts to reach him proved abortive .His name is Emmanuel Damilare.

Fraudsters in high places.........

Let him face the consequences of his actions now.

This is stupid, he didn't even upgrade anything. Just got scammed, it's none of their business to arrest him.
I'm quite sure the dummies above only read the headline

Prove below

sparog:

He should face the music

He downloaded

The candidate is dull and his guardians are worse.
