The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has said that it delisted about 72 designated Computer -based test centres for engaging in various acts of misconduct during the 2017 Unified Tertiary and Matriculations Examination held in different parts of the country .



The Registrar of JAMB , Prof . Ishaq Oloyede , disclosed this in Lagos at a meeting with the CBT owners and operators from the 36 states of the federation on Wednesday .




Oloyede said JAMB decided to delist the centres after it discovered that the operators extorted money from some candidates and engaged in other grievous actions , including an attempted rape in a particular case , during last year ’s examination .



He said , “Some centres collected the sum of N1 ,000 from each candidate as entrance fee , while a worker in a particular centre attempted to rape a female candidate . We have delisted 72 of such fraudulent centres and banned some for life .



“We are dealing with the perpetrators at an individual level, such that they cannot even abandon the delisted centre to set up a new one in another name . We have sent their names to the Corporate Affairs Commission .”



The registrar noted that about 90 per cent of failures recorded in the 2017 UTME were due to the fraudulent activities of some CBT owners, adding that they would be held culpable if they failed to expose the bad eggs among them .

Sincerely, the level of extortion was way too much. Imagine UNIBRIGHT CBT centre charging candidates N500 separately for taking passports. And the passports were taken with a mobile phone; non-printable. You either pay this additional fee or you leave... This was made known to candidates after they've paid N8,500 for the main purpose of registration, which made the total cost of processing the form about N10,000.
.
The owner of the centre even went as far as telling candidates to pay an optional N10,000 if they would like to take the exam in his centre, claiming that he could decide who is posted where.
.
I just looked at him anticipating that Oloyede would appear and give me the permission to slap the owner of that CBT centre multiple times.
