Two identical twins have been arrested for alleged examination malpractice in the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination , at the University of Maiduguri centre , Borno .
Mr Babagana Gutti , Chief Examiner Officer in the state, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the twins were apprehended by the security operatives on Saturday in Maiduguri .
Gutti said that the brothers tricked invigilators and security personnel to gain entrance to the centre .
He said one of them tried to sit for the examination on behalf of his brother .
The JAMB official explained that one , Hussain Andulhammeed , was captured in the biometric registration for the Computer Based Test (CBT ) , but his brother , Hassan, decided to sit for the examination in his place .
“We did not suspect foul play until one of the invigilators noticed the other identical twin outside the examination hall.
“The invigilator became curious and asked him few questions ; but not satisfied with answers he put them together for verification.
“It is unfortunate our findings showed that he was in the examination hall in place of his brother , ” he said .
Gutti added that the candidates had been penalised and handed over to security personnel .
He explained that the examination was going smoothly in the eight designated centres in the state.
