Tope got to his SMA College, Isolo, Lagos centre by 11. 23 am, over two hours after the examination began. He started banging on the gate of the centre when he arrived there, calling the officials supervising the exercise to allow him in. A National Security Civil Defence Commission (NSCDC) official who eventually opened the gate for him expressed shock on sighting his unsteady gait, screaming: “You are late and you are smelling alcohol; you are drunk, no wonder you were banging the gate.” With the intervention of some parents, he was later allowed to enter the premises and when it was glaring that he might not be allowed to write the examination, Tope knelt down pleading that he wouldn’t mind writing it outside the hall.
He said that he came from Ogun State for the examination, adding that it was his first time in Lagos. Asked why he took alcohol, he said he was scared and needed something to help him subdue the fear. He eventually left the premises without writing the examination.
An official of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) told The Nation that he was disallowed
