The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB has barred Ejikeme Mmesoma for three years for falsifying her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result.
The examination board reaffirmed its position on the controversy surrounding the result obtained by her.
Despite Ejikeme’s denial of forging her 2023 UTME result, JAMB spokesperson Benjamin Fabian stated that her result is undeniably fraudulent.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday.
The statement reads :
“The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is, hereby, restating its earlier position that the UTME result being paraded by Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma is patently fake.”
“Consequently, the Board would like to reassure Nigerians that its system was neither tampered with nor compromised as the candidate simply falsified a copy of a result slip of a candidate named “Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle”, who sat the UTME in 2021 and scored 138.”
“It is also instructive to note that the candidate, in her statement, has inadvertently revealed the rightful owner of the result she is parading when she pointed out that the QR code on the result slip showed the actual owner of the said result before she peddled a lie in an attempt to obfuscate the truth.”
“In the meantime, the management of the Board urges members of the public to examine critically the issue at hand and avoid fake news trafficking.”
“In the meantime, the management of the Board, after considering the weighty infraction committed by Ms. Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, and in line with it’s established procedures, has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the next three years.”
