The body responsible for conducting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has revealed the six states with the highest cases of malpractice in the just-concluded examinations.

While speaking during a press briefing over the weekend, JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, noted that Lagos and Anambra states recorded the highest cases of examination malpractice.

He disclosed that 80 examination malpractice suspects across different states are currently being interrogated.

From this figure, Anambra tops the chart with 14 arrests, while Lagos follows with nine arrests.

The registrar further noted that 13 incidents of impersonation and one case of mismatched photographs were recorded in Anambra.

The examination malpractice suspects arrested in Lagos were apprehended for impersonation, spying, and illegal possession of mobile phones during the exam.

Delta, Kano, Kaduna, and Rivers recorded 8, 7, and 6 cases of impersonation and phone possession during the exam.
Oloyede also revealed that applicants developed new fraud techniques during the registration and examination phases of the UTME.

Some of these new fraud techniques, according to him, include biometric manipulation, use of combined thumbprints between candidates and impersonators, double registration, and attempts to substitute oneself with an impersonator.

He added that these were reportedly done in collusion with some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.

A blind candidate hired a blind undergraduate to sit the exam on his behalf.

The following is a list of the states with the highest examination malpractice cases:

Lagos
Delta
Kano

The big question is why does the authority always dis-arm locals carrying den guns to defend themselves, but allow marauding fulani terrorists to roam about with AK47??

Please have they called anyone for medicals recently?

TimeManager:
What business do we have with Aburi?, is Aburi a place in Nigeria?. Anything that's not agreed upon on Nigerian soil is total rubbish. Aburi was between two military men, 1999 constitution is also a military document. 1960 constitution is the people's document, unfortunately, some people carried out a coup, gave way to mllitary regime in Nigeria and threw away the people's constitution. Same people who should be asking Nigerians for forgiveness are still talking about a toilet paper called Aburi.

-kiss the truth!

gragz8701:
The solution remains state and local government police armed with military grade weapons to match those fulani terrorists.

My brother, you got it right 100%, in fact it got to a time I have to conclude that almost every person in that state is foolish and not wise at all, i was born and grew up in Otukpo and i can attest to what you are saying. You can believe that, up till date, most of the name they give to their children has no meaning at all. The parents that gives the name did not know the meaning of the names the call their children. They just daft and foolish somehow

This is making me think twice about Peter Obi. Where did he get his money from? He had a corporate career, ok, but how did he accumulate that much wealth? Do Nigerian companies pay millions of dollars?

kaymart:
Politicians are the same especially those who adopt this sort of emotional campaign strategy".

"No one will steal a kobo under my watch" says Mr. Integrity.

I'm not for any Politician especially those from Nigeria.
Once again, they are all the same.
I sincerely do not expect anything from anyone of them bunch

The sad this about the Obidient movement is that when he loses, people will be demoralized and only in the aftermath and post morterm will they realise they missed a chance for genuine change not because Obi lost but because Obi was the wrong person to spearhead the movement.

An opportunity for a genuine paradigm shift will probably never come again because the wrong person is heading it, a movement for a new order headed by Peter Obi is ab initio a fraudulent movement!!! APGA for 10 years PDP, PDp for 8years, a member of Jonathans Govt for 3, Vice presidential candidate to Atiku, a member of 3 different political parties, one of the biggest importers of basic consumer goods including the much derided imported toothpicks, no factory to his name, no gasp on the issues and ideas except telling us the problems we all know....the man is a fraud and it is a travesty to those who want a new order that this charlatan is the one spearheading the movement.

it will go down as a generational opportunity wasted because poor thinking Nigerians decided to make an opportunist, a con man and a charlatan the arrowhead of the change movement.

The problem with Obi failing (as he will) is that the 2 parties will consolidate their grip on power knowing the risk of a genuine new order and how close they could have come to extinction if they (the so called Obidients) only had a credible and more acceptable leader. Furthermore many of the youth behind the Obidient movement will be older and age makes us all less enthusiastic and more cynical and accepting of the status quo…especially if he is humbled at the polls!!! It will only serve to “prove” the fallacy to many that you cannot win an election unless you are in one of the 2 big parties, when in reality the reason the Obidient movement failed is that it was flawed from the beginning, based on falsehoods and emotion and lacking ideology, a clearly articulated plan and most importantly a credible figure head which is what you need to upset the status quo anywhere.

So have you done that yet? You can even write to NNPC themselves.

They are all same person including that mofo that quoted me. Low lifers.....that only feed on social media attentions... I spits
The person that got his slot swapped and the person that got the slot. What c12112 wants is prompting people to contact him. Since he has the means to get another person slot, that means he can do it for someone else at a reasonable price (reason why the person that comes out saying the info matched his profile happens to be on nairaland and he also replied within a short time). It is all planned

ChasteGhuy:
Hypothetically, let's say the claim is true. What will you do or what action would you take to ensure the change is reversed?

Clintsoch:
He's just a smart fellow... If I pick for instance accounting n place ICAN with 8years experience and accuse Oga Jarus of displacing someone with connection.

My net still fit catch fish, those details we submitted online are highly confidential so nobody should play with anybody's psyche abeg; buh if his claims are true what's wrong with using your connection abeg...

Someone must be displaced, we can only pray to be among the favoured ones.

Clintsoch:
That he can access the details of anyone that comes online... How my brother, Is he google?

Left for me c12112 just ignored him cos he wasn't making sense, but what do I know... May be we grew advanced overnight.
