Detectives have arrested two suspects accused of running a scheme to forge and illegally alter Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) 2025 results slips
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) identified the suspects as Albert Kerry Nyadianga and David Opiyo, also known as G.O.A.T. According to investigators, the duo lured KCSE candidates and parents by claiming they could manipulate examination results in exchange for payment
Opiyo, a primary school teacher, allegedly administered an online group dubbed “KCSE 2025 Grade Upgrading”, which reportedly had more than 45,200 followers
The DCI said further investigations revealed that he was active in several other online forums linked to examination fraud, including KNEC Legit Papers and Upgrading, Group Booster Support, KNEC/KASNEB/ICM/CDA, and KNEC Grade Editing
The arrests followed a coordinated operation by DCI officers working alongside the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). Nyadianga was apprehended in Kisumu, while Opiyo was arrested in Ongata Rongai
A search of the suspects’ mobile phones uncovered images of counterfeit KCSE result slips and other examination-related materials that were being circulated online

The two suspects remain in police custody pending arraignment in court, as detectives intensify a manhunt for other individuals believed to be involved in the scam
