The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board says it apprehended
an individual it described as a “notorious cheat” who had
registered for the UTME 64 times, with the intention of writing
the examination for 64 candidates. The board revealed that no
fewer than 100 culprits had been nabbed by security operatives
across Nigeria during the just concluded UTME, and malpractice
was prevalent in virtually all the states of the federation,
including Abuja.
In its Weekly Bulletin released in Abuja on Monday by its
spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB said the fraudsters
engaged in multiple registrations to enable impersonation during
the examination. The board said the arrest of the culprits was
made possible by the thorough and mandatory identity checks
conducted on candidates, with the aim of fishing out
professional ghost writers before the release of the results.
Also, the board disclosed that it had cancelled the results of
two Computer Based Test centres, Heritage and Infinity CBT
centre, and Okwyzil Computer Institute Comprehensive School,
Ugwunabo, in Abia State, over what it described as “widespread
irregularities” during the UTME. It said that all the results of
the examination sessions conducted by the Board in the two
centres from April 11 to 18 were null and void.Regarding the
cancellation, the board had this to say to innocent candidates
affected, “However, in order not to unduly punish honest and
hardworking candidates who found themselves attached to these
two centres, the board magnanimously relocated all the
candidates who had taken or were scheduled to take their
examination in the two centres to other centres where they
subsequently took their examinations.”
