The University of Jos has recorded more than 200 cases of examination malpractice in a single academic semester.

The institution warned students against using Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and other unauthorised devices during examinations.

The Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Tanko Ishaya, disclosed this on Friday during a meeting at the Faculty of Social Sciences, where students, staff, religious leaders and community representatives gathered to discuss security and student welfare following the recent killing of a former student, Ibrahim Mbaya.

Ishaya also condemned the growing trend of mob justice, describing it as a dangerous practice that must be stopped after Mbaya was allegedly lynched over a suspected phone theft.
