The Head of public affairs, Bayero University Kano, Lamara Garba, has revealed that the institution recently expelled no fewer than 178 candidates admitted through the Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) examination between 2019 and 2021, for presenting fake results.

According to Garba, while 142 candidates were caught with fake IJMB results between 2019 and 2020, 36 fraudulent admission seekers were detected in 2021, and they have all been expelled accordingly.

He explained that most holders of IJMB results do not sit for the exams to acquire the certificate, but rather, the results are forged at computer centers by racketeering syndicates. He added that the university has a way of authenticating results including SSCE or results from polytechnics and colleges of education, to ascertain the forged ones.
