Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,JAMB, has released 279 results from those previously held for further investigation. This is in addition to the results earlier released by the Board.
The release follows ongoing investigations into cases of suspected examination malpractice.
The statement issued to newsmen disclosed that some results have been outrightly cancelled where evidence of malpractice was established, others have been released where the Board found no prima facie case against the affected candidates.
“Results from centres where the Board’s live monitoring team observed suspicious activities, or where adverse reports were received, remain withheld pending further investigation. Where sufficient evidence of culpability is established, such results will be cancelled.
“Candidates whose results have not yet been released were advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results,” it said.
