Police alleged that Arinze and an accomplice created fake social media accounts using the Registrar’s name, photograph and official details to solicit members of the public for purported government and JAMB contracts.
The suspects allegedly demanded between ₦900,000 and ₦3 million as processing fees and purported bribes.
The police said Arinze was arrested in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, following an intelligence-led investigation. A second suspect, identified as Nnabuife Nwekpa, remains at large and is being sought by the authorities.
The police have warned members of the public that the JAMB Registrar does not award contracts or request payments through WhatsApp or other social media platforms.
