The Force headquarters said that police operatives have uncovered an examination fraud syndicate allegedly impersonating Segun Aina, registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Aniete Iniedu, in a statement in Abuja, said that one suspect, Nwogba Arinze, has been arrested, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend Nnabuife Nwekpa, identified as the principal suspect.

Iniedu said the NPF’s intelligence, operations and investigation unit attached to the JAMB headquarters uncovered the fraud syndicate following a petition submitted on August 10 by Aina, alleging criminal conspiracy, impersonation, identity theft and fraud.

“The Inspector-General of police (IGP) Rilwan Olatunji Dis approved an investigation which initially extended to Nasarawa and Katsina states in a bid to track down those involved in the fraud.
