Recently, a medical student at the University of Nairobi was caught cheating during exams using a mobile phone strapped to his body.
The incident gained attention when a video surfaced showing the student being confronted by lecturers who discovered his cheating method.
The student had taped earphones to his arm and connected them to a hidden phone, allowing him to receive answers during the exam.
When the device was revealed, the voice on the other end could be heard discussing specific medical concepts, indicating active cheating.
This incident is part of a broader trend where students are using increasingly creative methods to cheat.
In this case, multiple students were caught employing similar tactics, with some concealing phones under their clothes.
The lecturers involved decided to shame the students publicly, highlighting the unethical behavior and emphasizing the consequences of such actions, including the possibility of suspension.
The reactions online have been mixed. While some users expressed pity for the students, others harshly criticized their behavior, labeling it a disgrace to the profession they aspire to join.
