Cheating Syndicate Unmasked: JAMB Swoops on 19 Malpractice Hubs, Makes Arrests
JAMB Uncovers Highest Finger-Pairing Exam Malpractices in Imo, Anambra; Two Arraigned in Katsina Over UTME Fraud....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has identified Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres in Anambra and Imo States as recording the highest number of finger-pairing exam fraud cases during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
According to data unveiled at the 2025 JAMB policy meeting held on Tuesday in Abuja, six CBT centres in Anambra State were indicted, followed by four centres in Imo State.
Other states with at least one compromised centre include Abia, Edo, Ebonyi, Delta, Kano, Kaduna, Rivers, and Enugu.
The revelations were made by JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, during his presentation to vice-chancellors, rectors, provosts, and other key stakeholders in the education sector.
Prof. Oloyede also exposed newer, more sophisticated forms of exam malpractice, including the use of albino impersonators to distort biometric imaging and remote-upload mechanisms designed to bypass facial and fingerprint verification systems.
“These tactics threaten the integrity of our examination processes. We are intensifying our technological defenses and surveillance systems to counter these evolving threats,” Oloyede stated.
He reaffirmed JAMB’s unwavering commitment to preserving the credibility of its exams and ensuring justice is served against offenders.
Two Charged with UTME Impersonation in Katsina
In a related development, two suspects have been arraigned before a Federal High Court in Katsina over alleged impersonation during the 2025 UTME.
According to police prosecutor Abdussalam Danmaidaki, Bolanwu Emmanuel was accused of contracting Ibrahim Abdulaziz to impersonate him and sit the UTME on April 30 at Zee Alpha International School, Funtua.
“Abdulaziz unlawfully presented himself as Emmanuel, sitting for the exam using registration number 2025515278JA,” Danmaidaki told the court.
The defendants face charges under Sections 4(2)(a)(b), 4(3)(c), 3(1)(a)(b), and 3(2)(c) of the Examination Malpractice Act, Cap E15, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
Both accused pleaded not guilty, and the prosecutor requested time to bring witnesses forward. Justice Hussaini Dadan-Garba adjourned the case to July 18 for the commencement of trial.
Prof. Oloyede reiterated that JAMB would pursue all legal avenues against examination fraudsters and uphold its zero-tolerance stance on malpractice.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
