The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) sacks a staff member over alleged extortion of candidates, the agency says. JAMB announces the dismissal and reiterates its zero-tolerance stance on corruption, positioning the action as part of efforts to curb fraud in the admissions and examination system.

Both outlets report that JAMB communicates the sanction through official channels, including a bulletin. The agency frames the move as part of renewed measures to eliminate fraudulent practices that can affect how candidates participate in admissions and examinations. While the reports do not detail the specific amount taken or the precise circumstances of the allegations, they agree on the outcome—termination of the staff member—and on JAMB’s stated anti-corruption rationale.
