The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)
says it has uncovered a fake Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) centre
in Maiduguri.
The Commandant of the corps in Borno, Mr Ibrahim
Abdullahi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Maiduguri that
operators of the fake centre were defrauding applicants.
Abdullahi explained that the centre was uncovered on
Thursday at the Kawu Shopping Complex along Lagos Street of the metropolis.
He said that men of the command also arrested one
Abizo Precious Idowu, a 31-year-old from Imo who had collected N1,200 each to
register about 180 students under the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME).
“Without any doubt, the command had discovered that
the Computer Based Test Centre (CBT) is fake. Even the server is for Abia
state.
“His accomplices are on the run but the command is
doing all it can to track them.
“We will make sure he refunded all the money he
collected from the students while he will be made to face the law.
“We (NSCDC) therefore warned JAMB applicants to be
wary of fraudsters disguising as JAMB facilitators,” the commandant said.
