Secenty-six of the candidates were visually impaired, whereas two had hearing impairment, WAEC said.
The results of 901 candidates alleged to have been involved in various cases of examination malpractices had their results withheld.
The malpractices include bringing foreign materials and mobile phones to the examination hall, impersonation, collusion, seeking external assistance, and others, the statement from WAEC said.
WAEC said the withheld results would be released or cancelled based on the outcome of an ongoing investigation.
