A Nigerian mother identified as Iphie on her X account has called out the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board over an alleged breach of her daughter’s data protection rights.
According to The Punch newspaper, the mother alleged that a staff member at a JAMB registration center used the phone number used to set up her daughter’s profile while registering for the JAMB examination to contact her.
Expressing her frustration in a series of X posts on Saturday, she said, “I don’t know what goes on in the heads of Nigerian men that makes them so stupid.
“Took Jaya to the CBT center to register for JAMB today, I used my number to set up her profile and now one of the staff from the center is chatting me up thinking I’m Jaya. He’s going to FAFO!
“Lol. This guy is committing so many criminal offenses at once it’s crazy. He’s still chatting with me.
“He says he got her number from the system after she registered and left cos he couldn’t help himself.
