The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has revealed that one Ejikeme Mmesoma celebrated for having an outstanding 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result is parading a fake result. Mmesoma had claimed to have 362 in the examination. The examination board said this on Sunday in a statement signed by its Head of Public Affairs and Press, Fabian Benjamin. It vowed to withdraw the result which it described as inflated to attract a scholarship of N3 million from Innoson Motors and prosecute the candidate.
Nigerian Exam Body, JAMB Says Celebrated Candidate Set To Receive N3Million Scholarship Forged ResultThe Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has revealed that one Ejikeme Mmesoma celebrated for having an outstanding 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result is parading a fake result.The examination board said this on Sunday in a statement signed by its Head of Public Affairs and Press, Fabian Benjamin.
It vowed to withdraw the result which it described as inflated to attract a scholarship of N3 million from Innoson Motors and prosecute the candidate.It said, “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has been drawn to several publications in both print and online media celebrating certain candidates for being high scorers in the 2023 UTME.
“She was even set to be honoured by the Anambra State Government when one of its top officials put a call through to JAMB to confirm her claim, only for the Board to reveal that Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma had actually scored 249 and not the 362 she claimed. “She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain scholarships and other recognitions.”“With this her ignoble act, Miss Mmesoma would be prosecuted and her original result withdrawn. This is not all, as the Board would, in due course, investigate all candidates laying claims to higher scores than they actually obtained.
“Once discovered, such candidates’ original results would be withdrawn forthwith, and they would be handed over to relevant security agencies for prosecution.”It also noted that one Atung Gerald in Kaduna, who claimed to have scored 380, “never obtained the 2023 UTME application documents, not to talk of sitting the examination”.
