Benjamin emphasized that all cases of malpractices, including those caught on cameras, were being scrutinized and that JAMB would ensure that everyone who violated the rules of the examination were punished.
He said he cannot explained if the results of some of the affected candidates might eventually be released, stressing that it depends on the outcome of the investigations, but with assurance that the board was being fair and diligent in the screening.
“I can’t say. It depends on the outcomes of the investigations. We are being fair and diligent in the screening to ensure injustice is not done to anyone.”
