The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Tuesday said it decided to withhold certain information regarding the falsification of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result of Mmesoma Ejikeme, the candidate from Anambra State.
Recall that Mmesoma has been in the eye of the storm after the board accused her of manually inflating her UTME score to hoodwink unsuspecting members of the public and also secure unmerited praise and financial reward from individuals and companies.Speaking during an interview with Premium Times, the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, said a full disclosure of their investigation and findings to the public would leave Nigerians dumbfounded.
Oloyede disclosed that the result being bandied by Ejikeme was the template for a student who sat UTME two years ago.
He added that it was either Mmesoma had been swindled and was oblivious of the crime she had committed or she was aware of the forgery but chose to double down on her position that the result was authentic.
The former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin said, “If you scan the code, the candidate’s result will show. So I can say emphatically that the girl is parading a fake result. It is either she is being duped, or she is part of a syndicate manufacturing purported JAMB results.
“There are security features on our results, so I can emphasise that the girl is just trying to deceive the public. Her result is completely fake. Her claim that she printed the result from our site is a lie, and totally incorrect. If we should reveal all that we know, people will be shocked. So if people are looking for shortcuts to achieve an end, that is what would happen.”
JAMB said the matter has nothing to do with its system, saying nobody tampered with its system and that the result did not emanate from its system.
“The result she is holding is completely fake because we are able to track everything printed from our system”, it said.
Mmesoma was accused of forging her 2021 UTME result by the board on Sunday evening. She has since denied the allegations levied against her by the examination body, JAMB.
But JAMB insisted that she forged the result and placed a three-year ban on her.
