The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released 279 additional results that were earlier withheld for further scrutiny.

According to a statement issued by the examination body on Thursday, the newly released results form part of ongoing investigations into suspected cases of examination malpractice during the exercise.

JAMB explained that while some candidates had their results cancelled after clear evidence of malpractice was established, others were cleared and had their results released after no prima facie case was found against them.

The board also noted that results from certain centres flagged for suspicious activities by its live monitoring team, or those that received adverse reports, are still being withheld pending further investigation. It added that any candidates found culpable after review will have their results cancelled.

Candidates whose results are yet to be released were advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used during registration, the statement added.
