The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has arrested 10 persons for advertising and selling of completed academic projects to students online.
The suspects allegedly packaged and marketed plagiarised academic theses to desperate students to assist them to unlawfully fulfil the requirement for the award of different degrees across the country.
Investigations by ICPC shows that some of the culprits of the online project scam were based in Cross River, Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu State.
In a statement on Saturday, by the ICPC spokesperson, Mrs Azuka Ogugua, six of the suspects had been released on bail while the remaining four who were seriously implicated in the matter were assisting the commission with useful information.
The arrest was a result of the ongoing inter-agency collaboration between the ICPC and the National University Commission aimed at putting an end to the fast-rising scam on academic projects on the internet
