BREAKING: Police Arrest Fake JAMB Coordinator, Recover Exam Slips

The police in Anambra State, South-east Nigeria, have arrested a suspected fake coordinator of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Examination Board (JAMB).

The suspect, Eric Nwombu, was arrested on 14 April by the operatives of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Safe School Initiative of the police in the state.

The police spokesperson in Anambra State, Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.

Mr Ikenga, a superintendent of police, said the male suspect was arrested for alleged criminal impersonation and unlawful possession of JAMB examination materials.

“The arrest followed a report of how the suspect was collecting 2026 JAMB examination slips from students who had come to check their examination centres in a Cyber cafe, Atani,” he said.

– How He Was Arrested
Mr Ikenga said when initially interrogated at a computer centre, the suspect claimed to be a JAMB 2026 coordinator in Atani, a community in the Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra.

The police spokesperson said the staff of the computer center were dissatisfied with his response and uncomfortable with his suspicious actions, which prompted them to alert police operatives.

“On sighting the operatives approaching, the suspect attempted to flee but was apprehended,” he said.
