said such reports were
fake as results of
candidates remain intact. Speaking recently, JAMB Head, Media and Information, Fabian
Benjamin, said the
reports were not only
wicked but fraudulent. ”We want to distance
ourselves from such
malicious and wicked
rumours by fraudulent
persons, as there is no
truth in them,” he told NAN. ”We did not issue any
press statement
concerning crashing of
the server. All these are
antics of desperate
persons trying to cause panic and confusion
among candidates and
the general public. ”We are not going to
succumb to such
rumours as we remain
focused on ensuring that
we achieve what we
have set out to do. ”After the examination,
the board embarked on
screening to determine
any form of examination
malpractice and
infractions by both candidates and
examination centres.
This is what has been
delaying the release of
the results.”
