Operators of the 38 registration centres and their accomplices indicted by JAMB for various infractions were nabbed on Wednesday in Abuja and handed over to the police for prosecution. The Board also retrieved about 48 laptops used by the suspects to commit cyber fraud as evidence against them. The laptops were confiscated when the crack teams from the Board were deployed to the registration centres across the country. Some of them were accused of extending the Virtual Private Network (VPN) of JAMB allocated to the accredited Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres to some cyber cafe operators for the purpose of illegal registration of candidates for the 2020 UTME. He also urged other CBT centres to keep within the regulation, saying the Board would continue to sanction and blacklist centres found to have committed infractions.
