The police in Osun have deployed officers to all Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across the state to ensure adequate security for candidates.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Osogbo.
“We have deployed our men since last week for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
“The directive came from Abuja to provide security for the examination, and we have complied fully.
“At any centre you visit, you will see our officers on ground. Deployment has been carried out across all centres.
“All our divisions have centres under their jurisdiction, and they have ensured adequate security coverage for the examination,” Ojelabi added.
