The principal of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi, where Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme, was alleged to have forged her JAMB score to emerge as the highest
The principal, Mrs Uchechukwu Edum, told DAILY POST on phone that the controversy over the score is not new to her, but that the school was still awaiting the outcome of a detailed investigation by the Department of State Services, DSS, when the news of the alleged forgery was broken on Sunday.
“So, later we heard that there was someone who got 360, and that she was the highest, so we had to call the education secretary in the diocese. “The girl also wrote a statement about how she checked her result, and the DSS said they will investigate the matter to know where the discrepancies lie, and that was all that I heard.
“You also know that our SS 3 students are not in school now, they were given a break to go home and return by next week for NECO, but the way the matter is now, we may not wait until when they return.”
