The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Ishaq Oloyede, stated that if the board decides to disclose further details about the “forgery” committed by Mmesoma Ejikeme, the candidate from Anambra State accused of manually inflating her UTME score, Nigerians would be astonished.
Ejes Gist News Nigeria reports that Mmesoma was accused by the board of falsifying her 2023 UTME result on Sunday evening. However, she has denied the allegations made against her by JAMB.
Oloyede confirmed that the result presented by Ejikeme was actually a template used by a student who took the UTME two years ago. In an interview with Premium Times, the former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin emphasized, “If you scan the code, the candidate’s result will show up. So I can confidently state that the girl is displaying a counterfeit result. Either she is being deceived or she is involved with a group that fabricates 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 hacked into 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.
But JAMB insisted that she forged the result and placed a three-year ban on her.
