NSCDC official arrested for allegedly sending answers to candidates in the exam hall !



The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board for universities polytechnics, monotechnics, and colleges of education was held nationwide on Saturday with notable improvements this year, except for the few discrepancies in some centers.
Our reporter visited some of the centres in Ojo/Agbara area of Lagos state.
There was a mild drama in one of the three centres  (Faculty of Arts with centre No 36102) within the Lagos State University, Ojo. An official of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, one of the paramilitary bodies deployed by JAMB to provide security for the examination, was caught while trying to send some answers to some supposed candidates in the examination halls through two cell phones.
 
 
A microchip with solutions to Mathematics (Type A), was also found on him. The NSCD officer who identified himself as Kazeem Adewale was caught by the men of the LASU security guards.

 
Adewale initially denied, claiming the phones and microchips were given to him by his boss another female officer whom he simply identified as Adesanu. But Adesanu denied the claim outright saying she neither gave the phones, nor the microchips to Adewale.
 
 
The suspect was later handed over to the police deployed from Ojo for the exam.
 
The other two centres were- Faculty of Law with Centre No 36109 and Faculty of Management Sciences with Centre No 36010.
 
The coordinator of the three centres Prof Sena Bakre who spoke to this reporter, urged JAMB authorities to beam their searchlight more on NSCD officials, fingering them as one of the abettors of examination rackets which are often recorded during JAMB.
 
A Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) Bakre said she suspected Adewale’s atrocities probably had the backing of his other colleagues especially his superiors at the centres, adding that since he had been arrested, they became suspiciously more nervous.
 
 
“For me, I no longer find this civil defence people dependable again. They are usually the ones that help many of these students get examinations answers either via cell phones or any other means. I think the authority should do something about this. This people have outlived their usefulness,” she said.
