He confessed to have paid a syndicate to help him upgrade his score.
He said:
“Those guys sent a mail to me that they could help me to upgrade my score. I then sent them my Registration number and e-mail. When the results were out and I checked, they showed me 206. Then, one of them called me asking me to pay them the money”.
The boy was afterwards handed over to the NSCDC officers.
