How Atung Gerald and some students use software to fake JAMB result
It explained that certain software was being used to fake versions of results and put the same out in the public space for fun, while the alleged sponsors of the candidates used the same to defraud good-spirited Nigerians.
JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made this disclosure through a statement, Premium Times report added.
"A similar case of one Atung Gerald in Kaduna, who claimed to have scored 380, and his ethnic group was requesting that he should be given special recognition, only for the Board to disappoint them with the incontestable fact that Atung never obtained the 2023 UTME application documents not to talk of sitting the examination," Dr. Fabian stated.
