The footage shows a man identified as Abraham Moses caught sitting for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) examination on behalf of Mr. Martins Emmanuel, identified by sources as the Manager of an Access Bank branch in Taraba State.
An exclusive video obtained by the media has exposed a case of examination fraud involving a senior banking official in Taraba State.
The footage shows a man identified as Abraham Moses caught sitting for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) examination on behalf of Mr. Martins Emmanuel, identified by sources as the Manager of an Access Bank branch in Taraba State.
In the video, an exam supervisor interrogates Abraham Moses, who openly admits that he was impersonating Emmanuel in the professional exam.
When asked why he was at the venue, Moses responded:
“I am here to write an ICAN exam for Mr. Martins Emmanuel.”
Pressed further, he disclosed that he resided opposite the Catholic Cathedral at Mile Six in Jalingo and provided his phone number.
The supervisor reminded him that impersonating a candidate in such an exam was a criminal offence.
Moses admitted he was aware but said he agreed to participate after being contacted by one Joshua, whom he identified as a staff member of a Nigerian British School.
‘I Have Written Four Papers’
The exchange revealed that Moses had already sat for four exam papers on behalf of others before being caught. He admitted this was his first time taking the exam for Emmanuel.
“Repeat the name of the person again,” the supervisor asked.
“Mr. Martins Emmanuel,” Moses confirmed.
Insider Confirms Candidate’s Identity
A source privy to the development later confirmed that Martins Emmanuel is indeed a manager with Access Bank in Taraba State.
However, attempts to reach Kunle Aderinokun, Head of Media and Public Relations at Access Corporation, for comment were unsuccessful.
The incident raises further questions about the integrity of professional certification processes in Nigeria, coming on the heels of another scandal involving Sarah Enoch Adi, the Taraba State Commissioner of Finance, Budget, and Economic Planning, who was similarly exposed in an exclusive video for engaging a proxy to write her ICAN exam.
