Some candidates for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) threatened officials of The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Kaduna with knives on Tuesday.
The incident happened at the Christ Ambassadors College in Sabon Tasha, Kaduna Centre.
The candidates threatened the officials after they could not sit for the examination due to technical hitches.
Many candidates could not sit for the examination at the centre resulting in complaints from some of the candidates and their parents.
A correspondent who monitored the exercise on Wednesday reported that only 150 candidates wrote the examination in the first batch, and 100 each in the second and third batch.
This amounted to 350 candidates as against the 750 per day, with 250 candidates expected to write the examination per batch.
