Mmesoma Ejikeme, a candidate of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) who has been in the news for alleged forgery of the result, has disclosed that she did not go to any computer centre to verify her result.

Her words:
“You have to register on the JAMB portal with your email address and number; I went to [the] JAMB portal. On that JAMB portal, I tried to get my result; they redirected me to another server.
“That’s where I entered my reg number, and when I checked the result, that was what I got there and downloaded it. I didn’t go to any computer centre.”
Providing clarification on whether she printed the results at home, the candidate explained, “You know phones now; if you want to check, you have the reg number. That’s the main thing you use in downloading your [results]. It’s not the hard copy that I’m talking of.”
Her father, Romanus, who also spoke on the programme, denied going to a business cafe with his daughter to print out the results.
“I didn’t go with her. I didn’t go there with her,” he said.
JAMB insisted that her result was “patently fake”, saying it had withdrawn her result and consequently barred her from writing the examination for the next three years.
