Board (JAMB) through the National Information Technology Development
Agency (NITDA)
has shut down blogs and websites that have "jamb" attached to their
domain names in order to ensure they do not end up defrauding
unsuspecting individuals.
This was disclosed by one of the owners of the affected sites.
According to him, he received a mail from his web host concerning the
development.
The mail reads, "We got a complaint from JAMB through National
Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) on
a number of domain names that are defrauding Nigerians using different
variant of their name (JAMB), your website was listed among them, and
we were instructed to investigate and suspend all the domain names
involved".
"We communicated the information to the Registrars of the domain names
in question
and requested them to kindly also
investigate and take the appropriate action".
"We understand that this domain names may not indulge in any
fraudulent activity.
However, we advice that you take down the contents of this site as
requested by NITDA to avoid immediate suspension of the
domain name".
"Please note that if this is not done within 12 hours of this report,
we will be forced to
suspend the domain".

part of their domain names are no longer accessible.
