How to identify fake JAMB result, admission
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has given insight on how to identify fake admission purported tohave been issued by the Board.
The agency said that any admission not captured in its Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) is illegal, null, and void.
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, made this disclosure while speaking during the 3rd matriculation ceremony of the Thomas Adewumi University (TAU) Oko, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The JAMB boss explained any admission done outside of the CAP, regardless of the institution, is fake.
Represented by an Assistant Director of JAMB, Mr. Ganiyu Yahaya, Oloyede stated that “For any admission into tertiary institutions, it has to be done through CAPS, which is on the JAMB portal.
“Any admission outside the CAPS, irrespective of the institution, is illegal. And I think this point is very important.”
The clarification may have become necessary as a result of a recent controversy between the examination body and one Mmesoma Ejikeme who forged a result to emerge highest scorer in the 2023 UTME.
The development attracted reactions from different quarters, and the Anambra State government, for this reason, set up a Committee of Inquiry to look into the case of inflation of UTME results levied against Mmesoma.
JAMB had come under fire for declaring the student’s result fake and naming her a fraud.
But the Board, through Dr. Fabian Benjamin gave out explicit explanation with facts and insisted that he result she presented was not from the portals of the agency.
Things took a dramatic turn later when Mmesoma eventually confessed to having forged her results unaided.
The panel set up by Anambra State Government to look into the matter also found her guilty of manipulation and forgery and recommended that she apologise to JAMB.

Breaking: Court of Appeal rules in favour of Turaki -led PDP candidate for Osun governorship election
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on Thursday, ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in Osun State was validly nominated by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee.
The court also ordered INEC to list the PDP logo on the ballot ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The Court held that access code is neither a creation of the Constitution nor the Electoral Act; rather, a creation of INEC’s guidelines and cannot, in any way, override the provisions of the Constitution.
Section 288 of the Constitution does not specify the method for nominating candidates; it only states that the names of candidates should be forwarded to the Commission.
The court further held that the defendant (INEC) should take steps to include the name of the appellant on the ballot paper.
Additionally, the court ruled that the primary election conducted by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP was a valid primary election in law.
The three-man panel of justices—Justice Mahmud, Justice Jaro, and Justice Ankawere, was unanimous in its judgment.
