JAMB uncovers fingerprint fraud in 19 CBT centres.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that 19 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers were busted for finger pairing malpractices during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The Board disclosed that Anambra State topped the list with six compromised centers, followed by Imo State with four centers, while other affected states include Abia, Edo, Kano, Ebonyi, Delta, Kaduna, Rivers, and Enugu.
The Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, made this known in his presentation during a meeting held with vice-chancellors, rectors, and provosts, among other stakeholders in Abuja, on Tuesday.
JAMB listed the examination malpractices uncovered as candidates hiring impersonators to take exams on their behalf, impersonators using albinos to disguise themselves, and unauthorized uploading of exam materials.
In a related development, JAMB disclosed that two individuals, Bolanwu Emmanuel and Ibrahim Abdulaziz, who had been arraigned before the Federal High Court in Katsina for alleged impersonation and examination malpractice, pleaded not guilty, and the case has been adjourned to July 18 for trial and presentation of witnesses by the prosecution.
