Data released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board during its 2025 policy meeting on Tuesday revealed that Computer-Based Test centres in Imo and Anambra states topped the list of centres busted for finger pairing malpractices.
In total, about 19 centres were busted nationwide, with Anambra having six; Imo with four; Abia with one, Edo with one; Kano with two centres; Ebonyi, Delta, Kaduna, Rivers and Enugu with one centre each.
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, made this known in his presentation during a meeting held with vice-chancellors, rectors, and provosts, among other stakeholders in Abuja, on Tuesday.
He mentioned other shady practices, including impersonators making use of albinos for the purpose of image-bending, and remote uploads. Although, the police have arraigned two persons before the Federal High Court in Katsina for alleged impersonation and examination malpractice.
