Subsequently,due to the release of some outstanding results,there was need to update the results, unfortunately ,in the process of updating/uploading the results, a wrong results file was uploaded on the website.Consequently,the result which were released on August 10,2011 and uploaded on the website,were over-written by the new results.The uploading of the wrong result file was traced to human error.
When the council realized what had occurred, the entire results were immediately withdrawn from the website Thereafter,the correct file,which contained the first batch of results as they were released on August 10,2011 and some outstanding results was uploaded.However ,reports indicated that some candidates had already accessed/downloaded the wrong results from the website.
