The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed as fake a viral result slip claiming that a candidate from Cross River State scored 394 in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The result, which circulated widely on social media, alleged that one Okon Winniefred Sampson scored 96 in Use of English, 99 in Biology, 98 in Chemistry and 99 in Physics.
However, in a statement on Sunday, JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, described the claim as a fabrication and urged the public to disregard it.
“A purported result slip currently being circulated, claiming that a candidate scored 394 in the 2026 UTME, is entirely fake,” he said.
Benjamin explained that UTME results are strictly view-only and not issued in printable formats, noting that the viral slip does not align with the Board’s official template.
“The circulated document appears on a fabricated result template, which is sufficient indication that it is not authentic,” he added.
He further pointed out that the registration number on the slip does not conform to JAMB’s system-generated format, describing it as another clear sign of fraud.
The Board advised candidates and the general public to rely only on official channels for verified information, stressing that all UTME results remain view-only.
