Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested a key suspect believed to be behind an online exam cheating network.
The suspect identified as Stephen Nyang’au Mbeche is alleged to be the administrator “KCSE 2024 Leakage Group” on Telegram.
The notorious examination fraudster was cornered and arrested after a sustained surveillance operation.
During a raid at Mbeche’s residence, detectives seized a mobile phone and a laptop believed to be tools for his operations.
He reportedly used the tools to exploit parents and students involved in the cheating by promising them leaked exam papers.
Meanwhile, authorities say that more suspects linked to similar operations are under surveillance as the government intensifies efforts to curb exam malpractices.
