Twenty suspects have been arrested for hacking the 2025 Computer-based test examinations conducted by the t issions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). ment The suspects were nabbed by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Police Force, in Abuja, The suspects are part of a syndicate believed to have over 100 persons, who specialize in hacking the computer servers of examination bodies like JAMB and the National Examinations Council (NECO). According to security sources, the suspects have confessed to sabotaging the CBT system in order to discredit JAMB and discourage students from using CBT for future examinations to be conducted by NECO and the West African Examination Council, WAEC. The entire hacking process was to influence high scores for special candidates who paid between ₦700,000 and ₦2 million. ment It was gathered that several of the syndicate own private schools and colleges, and make huge sums of money from their special centres.

He cited faulty server updates that prevented candidate responses from being ed during the first three days of the exam. Oloyede said the problem, which was caused by one of its technical service providers, went undetected before the results were released. The board conducted a resit examination, starting from May 16 and extending beyond May 19. https://www.channelstv.com/2025/05/23/breaking-dss-police-arrest-20-for-allegedly-hacking-utme-results/ |
