It was reported that ‘Professor’ Jisos was apprehended by officials of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) while monitoring the 2019 UTME at Brix Academy in Abuja.

According to a press statement issued by the JAMB Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday, Jisos had presented himself to JAMB examination officials as a representative of a non-governmental organisation (NGO), claiming he was there to oversee the examination.

However, his deception was uncovered when he was questioned by the leader of the monitoring team in the examination hall, who asked him to clarify his purpose at the examination centre.

Unable to substantiate his claims, Jisos was arrested and handed over to security personnel for further investigation. During interrogation, he 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.
