Obiakam-Omanu said that the four male candidates registered for the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) CBT examination in Otuoke centre in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa.

”The suspects on June 22, disrupted the smooth exercise that was ongoing and destroyed some facilities in the centre.
