A member of a syndicate who was arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, has admitted that they erected a radio mast to hack the Virtual Private Network of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

The syndicate, which includes a proprietor of one Bright Technologies, also confessed to collecting N600,000 for the illegal job.

During interrogation with operatives of the NSCDC, one of the suspects, identified only as Tosin, said the deal was to extend the JAMB network from an accredited Computer Based Test centre in Abeokuta to some cyber cafe operators for the purpose of illegal registration of candidates for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
