The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has arrested a 23-year-old man identified as Quadri Qudus who allegedly stole 21 mobile phones from Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidates in Ilorin, Kwara State, in July this year.
Qudus was alleged to have stolen the phones from the candidates while sitting the examination at a Computer-Based Test centre in Ilorin on July 5, 2022.
He was said to have pretended selling face masks at the centre and collected the phones from the candidates because they were not allowed to enter the examination centre with their phones.
However, before the candidates could complete their examination papers, the suspect had disappeared with the phones.
Parading Qudus alongside two other suspects at the corps’ state command headquarters, the command’s spokesperson, Olasunkanmi Ayeni, said that the suspect was arrested by the NSCDC’s operatives in Ilorin a month after committing the alleged crime.
