A shocking incident unfolded at a JAMB registration center in Nigeria, as an employee allegedly stole a registered phone number belonging to a 15-year-old candidate and engaged in inappropriate messaging.
The man’s actions came to light when the girl’s mother took to social media to expose the disturbing incident.
According to her post, the mother had used her own phone number to register her daughter for the JAMB examination.
However, an employee at the center accessed the girl’s entry on the computer and illicitly obtained the registered number.
The man began conversing with the girl, assuming he was chatting with her directly, ignorant of the mix-up.
Despite being reminded of the girl’s age, that she was just 15 years old, the suspect continued the conversation and even urged her to keep it a secret from her mother.
The concerned mother swiftly took to social media to call out the JAMB examination body for the disturbing breach of privacy and inappropriate conduct.
In a recent update, the Nigerian mother shared that the JAMB staff member involved, along with an accomplice, has been apprehended by the authorities.
The incident has created quite a stir online, and it is hoped that the appropriate legal actions will be taken against those responsible for this breach of trust.
