The Zonal Head of Operations of the EFCC, Mr Nnaghe Obono Itam, who made this known to the press said, Emeka and Samuel were part of an internet syndicate selling leaked examination papers to students sitting for the West African School Certificate Examination, WASCE.
They were also allegedly responsible for leakages of examination papers of the National Examination Council, NECO and the Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB.
The two suspects are allegedly running two websites: Www.examsort.com and Www.expomata.blogspot.com.
