Imo State tops the list of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), examination malpractice for the 2020 United Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), with 27 candidates.
JAMB’s Relations Officer Dr. Fabian Benjamin said some of the 195 candidates on the list had already been arraigned for offences , adding that the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the process.
"Some of them have been arraigned and others were waiting to be arraigned before the COVID-19 lockdown," he said.
A total of 1,945,983 million candidates sat for the examination in March, with the Board noting that examination malpractices declined this year.
Meanwhile, Anambra had the second highest number of candidates on the list (16), while Enugu, Kaduna, and Kano had 15 perpetrators each.
At the bottom of the list with the fewest offenders were Adamawa, Sokoto, Gombe and Yobe which had only one each. The FCT recorded three offenders while Lagos had nine.
The five states not on the list were: Kebbi, Niger, Taraba, Bayelsa and Zamfara.
