All Joint Administration and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination centres in Abia State were under lock and key on Monday as the examinations were shifted to Tuesday.
This was following the observation of every Monday as sit-at-home as designated by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), particularly in the southeast of Nigeria.
A staff of the centre in Umuahia said that the shift was in obedience to the IPOB order so that the students will be free to move about without harassment and intimidation.
At the JAMB Headquarters in Ubakala, Umuahia South, the office was securely locked with a few security staff on standby.
Meanwhile, the streets of Umuahia and Aba were deserted due to the IPOB sit-at-home.
The order was total in Umuahia and in Aba.
According to the President-General, Coalition Of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL), Hon. Goodluck Ibem, shifting the examinations was the best thing to do to safeguard the students.
