The Police have arraigned two persons before the Federal High Court in Katsina for alleged impersonation and examination malpractice.

The police prosecutor, Abdussalam Danmaidaki, said the defendants, Bolanwu Emmanuel and Ibrahim Abdulaziz, committed the offence on April 30, at Zee Alpha International School, Funtua.

Danmaidaki said that Emmanuel invited Abdulaziz into the exam hall to impersonate him and sit for the 2025 UTME, JAMB examination on his behalf with registration number: 2025515278JA.

The prosecutor said that the offence was punishable under sections 4(2)(a) and (b), and 4(3)(c) of the exam malpractice, Act, Cap E15, laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

He also said that Abdulaziz, unlawfully and fraudulently presented himself as UTME candidate and wrote the said exam in the same name of Emmanuel with registration number: 2025515278JA.

He said that the offence was punishable under sections 3(1)(a) and (b), and 3(2)(c) of the exam malpractice Act, Cap E15 laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

The defendants however, pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor prayed the court to allow time for him to present witnesses.

The presiding judge, Justice Hussaini Dadan-Garba, adjourned the case to July 18, for trial and presentation of witnesses by the prosecution. (NAN)(www nannews.ng)
