According to the state Corps Commandant,\u00a0 Aboluwoye Akinwande, in a statement released by the command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, Kareem Olanrewaju, the candidates were arrested from different centres\u00a0 across\u00a0 the state for their involvement in all sorts of malpractices\u00a0 during the examination.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0 30 candidates were\u00a0 arrested\u00a0 in various centres in Abeokuta, nine were nabbed in\u00a0 Ewekoro Local Government\u00a0 and others at\u00a0 Olabisi Onabanjo\u00a0 University centre\u00a0 and Molusi College\u00a0 in Ijebu Igbo.<\/p>\n
