Though speculated by many media, the Commissioner of Police in Borno State, Alhaji Lawal Tanko, has debunked the widely spread report that JAMB candidates were killed in the state on Saturday.
He said “I was directly in charge of the police operations to ensure safety of the candidates in all the examination venues in Maiduguri. We conducted the examination in peace without any incident in all the centres in Maiduguri. As I speak to you, the students are on their way back home. So, I do not know which attack you are talking about in a JAMB centre in Maiduguri.
“I do not rule out the possibility of attacks on one or two candidates on their way to the venues or back home. I have not received any report of attacks on candidates either on their way to the examination or back home’’, he added
He urge the media to always confirm to cross check information before publishing to avoid panic disorder.
