The development was revealed in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @winexviv, who disclosed that the candidates had filled a formal complaint form, which would be presented in court to compel JAMB to release detailed result sheets.

According to the post, the aggrieved students believe the board’s system experienced glitches that led to inaccurate results, and they are seeking full transparency to verify what they got wrong, what the correct answers were, and possibly initiate a fair dispute process.

“Currently, we have 8,391 students who have sent in their complaints regarding the glitches in the JAMB 2025 exam,” @winexviv wrote. “There’s plenty of evidence that JAMB’s system was inefficient, causing serious harm to these students’ mental health.”

“The destinies of these students are at stake. Students, we won’t let our guards down!” the post added.

As the update gained traction, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to express their reactions.

@aliyah75333: “@JAMBHQYou generate 14 billion naira from us just from registration, by checking our results you’ll get close to 100 million. If you fail to provide us with good tech, or proof that we indeed failed this exam. You’ve failed as an organization!!!! Scrap you!! @JAMBHQ.”

@kingkhone4real: “Na here we dey wey small girl forge JAMB result and social media supported her. We have seen this script before. JAMB has successfully destroyed the criminal malpractice network and no amount of noise will bring it back.”

@C_CDon: “It’s even easier to provide scripts because these are multiple choice CBT. We all write CBT Certifications, and many oof them show your answers and score few minutes after submitting.”

@aliyah75333: “Extorting money from us in the name of so called examination, we have to come back with pain, traumatized, every year to retake the exam, still you refuse to increase the validity of the result, na we una dey use make money, God punish all of you. @JAMBHQ.”

@TribalChief234: “JAMB examination and @JAMBHQ should be thrown in the coffers of history, it is part of the relic holding the future of many on lockdown. There is NOTHING it offers.”
