A Chief Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, has sentenced a man who claimed to be ‘Professor’ Jide Josiah Jisos to six months in prison for impersonation during the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

According to a statement released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Sunday, the convict was apprehended by JAMB officials while monitoring the 2019 UTME at Brix Academy in Abuja. Jisos had presented himself as a representative of a non-governmental organization (NGO), claiming he was there to oversee the examination.

However, when questioned by the leader of the monitoring team, Jisos was unable to substantiate his claims. He was subsequently arrested and handed over to security personnel for further investigation. During interrogation, Jisos confessed that he was not affiliated with any NGO and was actually in the examination hall to assist his daughter in taking the 2019 UTME.

Chief Magistrate Honourable Justice Folashade Oyekan found Jisos guilty of a one-count charge of impersonation and sentenced him to six months in prison, with an option of a N100,000 fine.

JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, confirmed the incident and the court’s judgment in the statement released on Sunday. The statement, however, did not specify the exact date of the court’s ruling.
