UPDATE: FRESH HIJAB RESTRICTION CLAIM EMERGES AT TINUADE JAMB CENTRE

Date— Thursday, 16th April, 2026 | Shawwāl 28th, 1447 AH





















A new report has emerged from the Eleyele axis alleging that another hijab-wearing candidate is denied entry at the Tinuade JAMB Centre.

The development follows Pen Blog Media’s earlier report on a similar concern at the Esther Oshikoya CBT Centre, for which verification is still ongoing.

According to the latest information received, the affected candidate at the Tinuade centre is initially restricted over their hijab.

However, the situation was later addressed, and those affected were reportedly allowed to proceed with their examination.

This indicates that while such incidents may arise, some are being resolved at the centre level after intervention.

At the time of filing this report, there is still no confirmed update on the situation at the Esther Oshikoya CBT Centre beyond earlier circulating reports.

Pen Blog Media continues to monitor both cases and will provide verified updates as more details become available.
