No wonder JAMB warns sternly that “increasingly, candidates, examination officials and other persons are yielding to the temptation to cheat in examination. Cheating (aiding or abetting cheating) in examinations is a criminal act punishable in law. The Examination Malpractices Decree 1999 provides penalties for persons convicted of examination malpractice. Punishment provided included imprisonment for 3 – 5 years or a fine of N50,000 or more or both prison sentence and fine”.
The decree also regarded the followings as the criminal acts: Cheating, stealing of question papers, impersonation, collusion with others with intent to cheat or secure unfair advantage for self or for another, disturbance and examination misconduct in the course of an examination, failure to obey lawful orders of supervisors, invigilators or agents of the examination body, forgery of result slip, breach of duty, conspiracy, aiding and abetting etc.
