Police Deploy Rapid Response Teams to Secure 2026 UTME Centres and Debunk Safety Rumours

Police Deploy Rapid Response Teams to Secure 2026 UTME Centres and Debunk Safety Rumours

The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed circulating claims of threats to JAMB examination centres as baseless. Rapid response teams will be stationed at all venues, with routine patrols and perimeter checks to safeguard candidates. According to the Force PRO, extra security officers will operate both overtly and covertly. The NPF is working closely with other agencies to identify and prosecute anyone seeking to disrupt the exams. Candidates and parents are urged to follow exam regulations and report suspicious activity on site. Official updates will be provided by the police and JAMB. The 2026 UTME will run from April 16 to April 25.
