A surprising claim has emerged amidst the 2024 JAMB examination regarding a girl who allegedly received a UTME score despite not actually sitting for the exam.
The incident has raised concerns about the integrity of the examination process and the potential for technical glitches at exam centers.
The controversy was brought to light by Gozie, a Nigerian man who took to social media to recount the troubling experience of a girl who was unable to take her scheduled exam due to technical issues at her designated Computer-Based Test (CBT) center.
Girl who didn’t write 2024 JAMB exam stuns many as she gets UTME score
According to Gozie’s Facebook post, the girl, along with other candidates, arrived at the center for a 7 am exam session only to find that all systems were malfunctioning.
Despite assurances that the issue would be resolved, the candidates were eventually instructed to return the next day.
Upon their return, the candidates were reportedly informed that nothing could be done to address the earlier technical difficulties.
However, to their astonishment, the girl, who had not taken the exam, allegedly received a UTME score of 191, comparable to those who had completed the examination.
Gozie expressed incredulity at the situation, questioning whether the result was a miraculous occurrence or a glitch within the JAMB system.
In his words;
“I’m still dumbfounded on how a person that literally wrote nothing got 191 or there about in jamb.”
“According to her, her set, which was 7am had a problem with their system.
“Their system went off, not just one but all the system, it wasn’t resolved until time for the next set to write, guess what? They where all asked to go home and come the next day.
“They came the next day,and they where told that there’s nothing that they can do for them. Now, jamb result is out, and she got 191, could this be a miracle or jamb glitch.”
Efforts to verify the authenticity of Gozie’s claims through messages sent went unanswered at the time of reporting.
