Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released 279 results from those previously held for further investigation. This was in addition to the results earlier released by the Board.

JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, yesterday, explained that the release followed the ongoing investigations into cases of suspected examination malpractice.

He noted that while some results were outrightly cancelled where evidence of malpractice was established, others had been released where the Board found no prima facie case against the affected candidates.

He asked that candidates whose results have not yet been released check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.

He, however, maintained that results from centres where the Board’s live monitoring team observed suspicious activities, or where adverse reports were received, remain withheld pending further investigation. And where sufficient evidence of culpability is established, such results will be cancelled.
