The examination body, however, said results under investigation might be released, “if not found guilty thereafter”.
An inquirer, Shehu Abdulrahman Adeiza, had quizzed:
“@JAMBHQ Good morning. My friends wrote JAMB this year but they checked their results.
“One was withheld and the other was under investigation...... Please what is the cause of this and is there any solution to this...What can they do???”
JAMB responded:
“Perhaps there are enough evidence against them that they were involved in examination infractions. Please be aware that the withheld result won't be released, however, the one under investigation might be, if not found guilty thereafter.”
