       The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has launched an
       investigation into the credentials of applicants dating back to
       2009. This means that every single candidate who took UTME
       within the last 10 years will be scrutinized. Persons who
       cheated the system successfully, and went on to secure admission
       and may have even graduated will face prosecution and their
       certificates will be withdrawn.
       This was disclosed by JAMB's Head of Media and Information,
       Fabian Benjamin, during an interview with Punch on Monday. He
       said the probe had begun and it would be completed in a short
       time as JAMB had acquired software to identify fake biometric
       data.
       Benjamin said, “If you graduated from university and you did not
       take UTME, it means the foundation is faulty and the building
       cannot stand. We have already started the probe but we will go
       deeper after the exams."  “It will not take too long. We are
       using software, so it will just check the biometric data of
       candidates and if the biometric data of someone shows about six
       different names, then it will notify us. So, if one person’s
       photo brings up different names and we have spotted this, we
       will find out where the person is and then we will pick them
       up.”  Speaking in a separate interview on 95.1 Nigeria Info FM
       Abuja, the JAMB spokesman said,“We want to do what we call
       biometric verification dating 10 years back. Even if you are now
       working and we discovered that someone wrote exams for you, we
       will publish your name and the law agencies will do the needful.
       We have the biometric data from 10 years ago. We will compare
       the photos with thumbprints and names. We discovered that a
       candidate could have taken exams with 30 different names.”The
       JAMB spokesman said it had become important to expose exam
       cheats to serve as a deterrent to others. He said the photos of
       those found culpable would be published for all to see even if
       they were now working class persons.
