JAMB has made it known that the would release more results on Monday being 19 march 2018.The stated that they would release not leased than 1.3 million result of the concluded examination after thorough scrutinization and security checks of malpractice

The Head of Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin,made this known on Sunday 18th march 2018  in an interview with News media agencies, He said that in the some CBT centres where their CCTV showed a case of malpractice,their candidates results have been cancelled.

JAMB said that the CCTV showed “scary things” like CBT centre owners collecting money from candidates to allow them to practice malpractice and also threatening some JAMB representatives at the centres.

The Head of media also said, “We are presently viewing the CCTV to ensure that results are not released in several batches. On Monday, we will release over 1.3 million results. These are the results of the CBT centres that have been screened. We cannot say how many cases of malpractice we have yet, because we are still viewing the CCTV to discover more cases.

“Some strange findings that the CCTV has showed us include a situation where the CBT owners were collecting money from UTME candidates and seeing to how they could assist them. Our officials at the centres raised the alarm but they were also afraid so that their lives would not be endangered.

“What the JAMB officials did was to silently play along with them, but we were watching everything on the CCTV. We later sent operatives to the centres and caught them. Such UTME results were completely cancelled. We knew that there were some innocent candidates in such centres and we have asked them to go to other CBT centres and rewrite immediately.”

Benjamin said candidates whose fingers could not be captured during the biometric verification before the examination, would not be allowed to retake the examination, as the biometric verification had already disqualified them.

“We have also concluded all arrangements to do the UTME for blind candidates. The examination is taking place in five centres. These are Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Benin and Enugu. The candidates are writing on Monday (today),” he added.
