The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre owners to arrest any parent caught near any of their facilities during the 2024 UTME session.
The mandate was issued by the Board’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, during the last briefing of CBT facility owners on Wednesday. Benjamin stated that the directive became necessary as a result of certain parents’ invasive behaviour during prior exercises.
Benjamin described JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, as adding that any parent who disobeys the order will not only be arrested but his child will also be barred from taking the exam.
He said:
“This measure is necessary as it has been discovered over time that many of these intruding parents are facilitators of examination infractions while others have, by their actions, disrupted the Board’s examinations in the past.
“Some miscreants also disguise themselves as parents to infiltrate the centres to perpetrate all forms of infractions.”
