The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed as fake a result slip circulating online that claims a candidate, Okon Winniefred Sampson, scored 394 out of 400 in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). In a statement signed by spokesperson Fabian Benjamin on April 26, 2026, JAMB confirmed the document is fraudulent, noting it does not match the official result format and was created on a fabricated template. The board highlighted that the registration number on the slip, featuring an irregular "20269" pattern, does not align with its system-generated structure. JAMB reiterated that 2026 UTME results are currently accessible only through official channels and are strictly "view-only," with no downloadable or printable versions available at this stage. The board urged the public to ignore the fake result and rely solely on verified platforms for accurate information.
Students should treat any downloadable UTME result slip for 2026 with suspicion since JAMB has confirmed all results are currently view-only on official platforms. Candidates must avoid sharing or circulating such documents and instead check their results directly through JAMB's authorized channels to avoid misinformation.
