…Says randy supervisor misled JAMB
…As supervisor denies allegation
Trouble looms for an alleged randy supervisor engaged by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) during the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) , held in April , for orchestrating non – release of Chizitere Audrey Obioha ‘s result .
The alleged randy supervisor whose identity as contained in a petition written to the Senate by the candidate’s father , Mr Onyebuchi Obioha, was unveiled to be Mutiu Olayemi through his phone number (08067366564) , he gave to the 16 – year old female candidate for conversation after leaving the examination hall .
But the Supervisor has denied given Chizitere his phone number during or after the examination .
In the petition laid on the floor of the Senate last week by the Chairman of its Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions , Senator Neda Imasuen ( LP Edo South), Mr Obioha alleged that the randy JAMB supervisor must be behind his daughter’s ordeal , having been queried on why he gave his number to Chizitere for telephone conversation.
He lamented to the Senate in the petition that rather than release her daughter’s results as done to the over one million other candidates , examination infraction was what JAMB gave as reason at its Ikoyi office in Lagos after months of complaints .
The petitioner challenged JAMB to give evidence of any infraction committed by his daughter , as he firmly believes that the alleged randy supervisor was behind her daughter’s ordeal who he vowed to
expose to the whole world when invited by the Senate to defend his petition .
The petition reads in part : “My name is Onyebuchi Obioha the father of Chizitere Audrey Obioha whose JAMB details are stated below ÷ Name Audrey Chizitere Obioha , Registration number: 202440075547GF, Examination Number: C44208171, Center Number: C44208, seat number 171 .
” She wrote her Jamb examination at Wisdom House CBT Center at Ogba Lagos on the 22nd of April 2024 at 12.00pm.
“Chizitere Audrey Obioha wrote her JAMB on the 22nd of April 2024 at the above mentioned center in Ogba Lagos and | personally took her to the center. | dropped her at the center, and she left her reading materials in the car and joined the line to enter the center with her exam slip. | waited at a nearby shopping plaza until she came out. | asked her how the exam was, and she told me that she did very well.
” But When the results were released, we checked and saw that her result was not there rather Alleged Examination Infraction” . We were worried and inquired from her if anything happened or if she was involved in any exam concerns and she told us no. To this end, we asked a relative who resides in Abuja to visit the JAMB office to see if we will get answers, but the response was that we should open a ticket.
“We promptly opened a ticket on the 30th of April and the ID is #240430-9KYGAD.
From this 30th of April, we kept updating the ticket asking for answers but never received any response.
“On the 25th of June 2024, we visited the JAMB office !koyi and the officers there stated that the ‘Alleged Examination Infraction” could mean any of the following – Caught with materials in the hall, caught cheating with another candidate or caught with a device.
“On the 11th of July 2024, my daughter sat at an interactive session with some JAMB officials where they asked questions and also stated that they had footage of her being caught with a device during the exam.
” My daughter responded that this was not possible as she had no single issue in the hall. They also asked her if she filled a malpractice form to which she responded that she did not.
“My daughter did not own a telephone, [PAD or any electronic device and did not take any with her to the exam on that day. We have not received any feedback on that session till date.
“Please, we do not want any favors if my daughter has committed a crime. Let the full wrath of the law take its swing. But if she is mistakenly accused, we will appreciate that justice is served.
“Please if it is claimed that she filled a malpractice form, a forensic audit of that form will prove that she was the one that filled that form and if she was also caught on CCTV, please let that evidence be provided by JAMB.
“| want to bring to your notice a suspicion that we have, relating to this case. We are very certain that our daughter is being punished for a crime she did not commit.
“When my daughter came out of the hall on that fateful exam day being the 22nd of April 2024, after she told me that the examination was good, she then handed a tiny piece of paper to me and said that a man in the hall gave it to her to call him after the exam.
“In her exact words, “he came around and looked at her name and said that her name was a beautiful name. He then left and came back almost when she was rounding up and dropped this piece of paper and asked her to call him afterwards” She decided to bring the paper to me.
“| called the number immediately and asked him why he gave a little girl of 16 years his number to call him. He immediately denied it and said that it was wrong number. | checked the paper and told him that it was his number that he wrote that | called.
“He cut the line. When we got home, my daughter also told my wife who also placed a called to him and he denied again and also cut the line.
“| then sent a WhatsApp message same day in the evening to him asking him to desist from this and should apologize. He did not respond. | have that message. | have also attached it here. The number is 08067366564. | checked Truecaller and the name that popped up was MUTIU OLAYEMI” .
However in a telephone conversation with Mr Olayemi on Sunday , he denied giving his number to Chizitere or any candidate during or after the examinations .
He said, he is already in Abuja in response to directives issued to that effect by JAMB .
” I didn’t toast anybody during the examination or give my phone number to any candidate . I’m already in Abuja as directed by JAMB Abuja to defend myself “, he said .
He added that he w canas not the one who wrote report on examination infraction against Chizitere but the Resident Monitor.
