Identical twins have
been arrested for alleged examination malpractice in Maiduguri, Borno state.
They
were arrested after one of them tried to sit for the Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) at the University of Maiduguri.
Speaking
with NAN, Babagana Gutti, chief examiner officer in the state, said the
brothers tricked invigilators and security personnel to gain entrance to the
centre.
Gutti
explained that Hussain Andulhammeed, one of the twin, was captured in the
biometric registration for the Compute Base Test (CBT) but Hassan took
advantage of their semblance and sat for the examination in place of his
brother.
“The
invigilator became curious and asked him few questions; but not satisfied with
answers he put them together for verification,” he said.
“It
is unfortunate our findings showed that he was in the examination hall in place
of his brother.”
Gutti
added said the candidates have been handed over to security personnel.
About
1,700 candidates registered for the examination in the state.
