He stated that the rumour that JAMB was deducting marks from the scores f candidates with proven cases of malpractice is not true.

According to him, once any evidence of malpractice has been established against any candidate, the result of such candidates will be cancelled out-rightly.

He further explained that if the board establish any case of infraction or examination malpractice in any centre too, such centre will be shut down and the entire results of candidates who wrote in that centre from the commencement of the examination, which was April 11 to the end will automatically be cancelled.
