JAMB Speaks Over False Claims.

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has denied a viral report alleging that an unidentified lady allegedly got a Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, score without participating in the exercise.

This is coming after an online platform had reported how a Facebook user, Gozie, raised an alarm, alleging that a lady who did not sit for the UTME examination got her scores.

According to the report, Gozie alleged that the girl, who was supposed to take the exam at 7 am, but all the systems at her centre were faulty, mysteriously got scores for her examination.

Reacting, JAMB in a statement issued by its spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, said the report was fake, describing it as malicious and a calculated attempt to undermine the integrity of the Board and urged the general public to disregard “such irresponsible publications”.

The statement also said, JAMB while, investigating some of the allegations, discovered that some of the mischief makers copy results sent to other candidates, as well as edit the details sent to themselves and then parade this as emanating from the board, adding that, it will continue to protect the integrity of its systems against such malicious actors, who are hell-bent on creating confusion where none existed.
