Professor’ Impersonates Daughter, Lands 6 Months In Jail
A Chief Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, has sentenced ‘Professor’ Jide Josiah Jisos to six months in prison for impersonation during the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The sentence was handed down by Chief Magistrate Hon Justice Folashade Oyekan on October 24, 2024.
Jisos was apprehended by officials from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) while monitoring the UTME at Brix Academy in Abuja.
According to a statement from JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, Jisos falsely presented himself as a representative of a non-governmental organization (NGO) with the intention of overseeing the examination.
Jisos was arrested and handed to security personnel for further investigation after he failed to provide satisfactory answers to the JAMB officials.
During interrogation, Jisos admitted that he had no affiliation with any NGO and entered the examination hall to assist his daughter in taking the UTME.
In addition to the six-month prison sentence, he was given the option to pay a fine of N100,000
