Sunday, October 12, 2025 - Detectives attached to the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) have arrested a university student accused of running a sophisticated online scam selling fake KNEC examination papers.
The suspect, Chrispinus Nandafu Naisuma, a fourth-year student at Meru University of Science and
Technology, was apprehended in Kianjai, Tigania West Sub-County, following a meticulously planned
operation by detectives.
According to investigators, Nandafu is the mastermind behind an online syndicate
operating under the banner “The
Teacher’s KNEC Exam 2025.”
The platform allegedly used multiple online personas,
including Dr. Ibrahim, Madam
Salim, Chat GPT, and Violent Kathini Mwendwa, to
lure unsuspecting Kenyans into purchasing fake examination papers, promising
them academic shortcuts.
When detectives raided his hideout, they recovered 29 Airtel SIM cards, six mobile phones,
two laptops, and several
Safaricom and Telkom
SIM cards, among
other items believed to have been used in the fraudulent activities.
Nandafu is currently in custody and undergoing processing
pending his arraignment.
Meanwhile, the DCI
and KNEC have
intensified a joint crackdown on individuals and syndicates peddling fake
examination materials across the country.
The public has been cautioned against falling for such scams, with authorities reaffirming that all official examinations are securely administered under strict integrity and confidentiality measures.
