As part of its effort to curb malpractice in its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) said five persons have been convicted for malpractices in Kebbi and Zamfara states.
The board also said about 123 suspects are still standing trial in different courts for one form of infraction or the other.
According to the bulletin, the convictions were part of the JAMB registrar’s determination to stamp out corruption and all crimes that are associated with examination malpractice.
In a phone interview on Sunday night, the spokesperson of the board, Fabian Benjamin, said three suspects from Zamfara and two from Kebbi state were convicted for a period of three months to two years.
