A Nigerian mother, Iphie, who raised concerns on her X account regarding an alleged breach of her daughter’s data protection rights by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, has reported that the suspect involved has been arrested.
In a statement posted on her X account on Monday, she expressed gratitude to #JAMBHQ for their swift response, revealing that the suspect is currently in custody.
She wrote, “The guy has been arrested. He and his accomplice, the guy who registered my child are currently in custody!
“Thanks to #JAMBHQ for your swift response. I’m grateful!”
Earlier on Saturday, Iphie had accused a staff member at a JAMB registration center of using the phone number associated with her daughter’s JAMB profile to contact her.
In response, JAMB assured her of a thorough investigation, pledging its commitment to data privacy and the safety of her daughter’s information.
The examination body pledged to take decisive action against the alleged culprit and any accomplices.
