The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has dismissed a viral Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result said to belong to a Cross River State candidate as fake.
The result slip, which circulated on social media, claimed that a female candidate identified as Okon Winniefred Sampson scored 394 out of 400 in the 2026 UTME.
The claim drew wide attention after it was shared on X by a social media user, who listed the candidate’s alleged scores as 96 in Use of English, 99 in Biology, 98 in Chemistry and 99 in Physics.
Reacting on Sunday, JAMB spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said the result was not genuine and urged members of the public to disregard it.
Benjamin said the document in circulation did not come from JAMB and was based on a fabricated result template.
He explained that UTME results are currently view-only and are not issued in a format designed for printing, sharing or circulation as result slips.
According to him, the registration number displayed on the viral document also failed to match JAMB’s system-generated numbering pattern.
He added that several inconsistencies on the document showed that it was fraudulent.
JAMB advised candidates, parents and members of the public to rely only on its official communication channels for authentic information on UTME results.
The Board also restated that all current UTME results remain view-only.
