Sunday Ehiemere 40, Glory Okoro 37, Onyedi Isaac and Promise Enang, 25 are among the nine-member certificate forging syndicate recently arrested by the Abia State branch of the State Security Services.<\/p>\n

The group, it was gathered, hold instant NECO examination for their clients, and immediately issue them with certificates on the spot.<\/p>\n

Abia State Director of the SSS, Mr Mathew Obodoechi, who disclosed this to journalists in Umuahia, said the suspected fraudsters demand a payment of N30,000 for NECO examination.<\/p>\n

He added that interrogations revealed candidates are made to pay different sums at several stages, N2,000 to collect the form, N6,000 exam fee, N5,000 processing fee, and an additional N2,000 is for a tee shirt, after which an oath will be administered.<\/p>\n

Obodoechi said investigations commenced when his men received a report of suspected fraudsters operating as officials of Universal Basic Education Commission UBEC, attached to Federal Teachers Scheme FTS.<\/p>\n

Over 300 fake documents were recovered from the raid<\/p>\n
