The Joint Admissions Matriculations Board (JAMB) said seven, not 10,000 candidates were arrested for their involvement in malpractices during this year’s exams.

It said it is falsehood that as much as 10,000 candidates who sat for its exams in Anambra were arrested for malpractices.


JAMB coordinator in Anambra state, Mrs Lynda Aja-Nwachukwu, said the true position is that only seven people were arrested by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).


She, however, said that the examination in the state was a huge success and that plans were on to build on it to achieve more successes.

Aja-Nwachukwu said that some problems identified like candidates not being able to print at some examination centres, would soon be a thing of the past, adding that JAMB was prepared to give the best examination process in the country.

Recall that there had been reports that about 10,000 persons were involved in examination malpractice in Anambra during the JAMB exams, all of which were reportedly arrested by security agents.

Lalasticlala, since the false report was pushed to the front page, can we also have this denial pushed to the front page for balance. Thank you.

Is that so?

Why did they push false news to the front page with speed and this on is still here?

Yes nah. Before nko?

Only someone with the brain of an ostrich will believe the first report

Anambra will always be ahead so haters can jump

Shame on brownies!!

may 2017 is a bad month to be a brown roof Muslim

Ofcourse 10,000 was a propaganda from Afonjas media. Anambrarians are brilliant people.

Bad belle people...with all the special centres in Ijebu, you chose to harass people in the east writing peacefully.

Arrest us all you like


We will still be more intelligent than any other region.

Somebody should remind me which state came first in the National Common Entrance

Good job JAMB for this clarification.

Omambala leading..

Naija an rumour. How many candidates wrote the exam in anambra that they will arrest 10,000

I never believed the story anyway. 10,000 when no be prisoners of war. These bloggers and second hand journalists looking for traffic and popularity are really getting on our nerves. Just negodi

Think of the logistical nightmare involved in arresting 10 thousand people during a one day exam (I'm assuming JAMB is still a one day exam).

Ok

Why is JAMB still holden to some candidates results in osun when there was no crises in the state. We deserve answer urgently before it becomes a crisis.

Who even reported that 10,000 were arrested sef?
How can they arrest 10,000 persons in one day?

Some people just like reporting nonsense.

Fear SW

I'M ASHAMED OF THE SKULL MINERS FROM THE WASTE SIDE

so how does this comment of yours related to this post.. Ethnic bigotry is a malady!!

Can This our new jamb prof tell us how this year's jamb was appraised?.... The scores are disheartening to say the least!!

This goes to show how wicked and evil the south can be to each other, during the 2015 elections no electoral fraud was reported or investigated in the North. Everything went on perfectly okay, card readers working well even illiterate mallams and almajiris voted correctly in both cities and villages.

But down here in the south we were talking, fighting and pulling each other down in the streets, media and law courts for God knows what. The south is the problem of the south
