The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of its supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Fabian Benjamin, the board’s national spokesperson, confirmed the development in a statement on Friday.
A total of 28,835 candidates participated in the supplementary examination, which was conducted on June 21 and 22, 2024.
Some of the participants were those who were unable to be biometrically verified during the main UTME while others were alleged to have been involved in exam malpractice.
Benjamin urged UTME candidates to refrain from soliciting score upgrades and generating fake results with higher scores.
“Some nefarious characters, who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution,” he said.
“The board would continue to ensure that no candidate benefits from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during and after its examinations.
“Candidates are, therefore, urged in their interest to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularities during their examinations.”
Last month, the exam body released 36,540 withheld UTME results.
A father and his son were earlier arrested for alleged impersonation during the UTME.
To check their supplementary UTME results, candidates are to send UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019.
This is to be done on the same phone number with which they generated their profile codes at the start of registration.
