SaharaReporters on Monday reported that Ejikeme claimed that the “results notification” slip showing a score of 362 was printed from the JAMB results portal, JAMB argued her true score is 249 and that she was parading a result created using a template the board had not used in two years. Asked to elaborate on a previous statement by him that the candidate might not have been the originator of the purportedly doctored result, Benjamin made reference to her demeanour in the video.
The involvement of the Department of State Services has generated widespread reactions with some asking that the post-secondary exam body exercise maximum caution in the handling of the case.“She just got it on the street and mutilated those things. It’s not taking her anywhere. Even if you go to the school that she chose, that result is not there,” Benjamin said.
