Detectives have arrested two men, Albert Kerry Nyadianga and David Opiyo (alias G.O.A.T), for creating and distributing fake Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) 2025 results slips on social media platforms.

The duo lured desperate candidates and parents with promises of “upgraded” grades for a fee. They boldly claimed they could alter KCSE results slips, exploiting anxious families seeking better academic outcomes.

DCI officers on secondment at the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) conducted a meticulous operation that brought down their fraudulent scheme. Detectives arrested Nyadianga in Kisumu while they cornered his accomplice, Opiyo, in Ongata Rongai during a coordinated swoop.

Preliminary investigations reveal that Opiyo, a primary school teacher by profession, masterminded the entire scheme. He commands a massive online following of 45,200 members in a group he misleadingly branded “KCSE 2025 Grade Upgrading.”

Investigators discovered that Opiyo actively operates in several other online forums linked to examination manipulation claims. These include KNEC Legit Papers and Upgrading, Group Booster Support, KNEC/KASNEB/ICM/CDA, and KNEC Grade Editing.

Officers searching the suspects’ mobile devices uncovered images of fake KCSE result slips and other examination materials, which further exposed their shady dealings.

The pair now remains in custody, undergoing processing as they await their day in court.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), working closely with KNEC, warns the public to stay vigilant against fraudsters who peddle illusions of grade manipulation. KCSE results remain secure and tamper-proof—no middlemen can alter them.

Detectives have intensified efforts to track down other individuals involved in this scam as they tighten the dragnet around academic fraud networks across the country.
