However, after reportedly giving Chinedu plenty of opportunities to confess, JAMB registrar Professor Ishaq Oloyede, opened the examination body’s server to prove that the student manipulated the result.
It was gathered that his original UTME score is 265 while he allegedly forged it and changed it to 380.
He was handed to the police for further investigation and possible prosecution.
Results manipulation and forgery is a criminal offence.
