Miss Ejikeme Mmesoma, the student who claimed to have received a 362 aggregate and placed first in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has denied falsifying her results.
Mmesoma, who talked in a viral video shared on numerous twitter accounts and other social media platforms, claimed that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board’s (JAMB) media campaign against her and accusations that she fabricated her UTME results traumatized her.
According to a report from SaharaReporters published on Sunday, JAMB announced that it would revoke the results of a certain Ejikeme Mmesoma for artificially inflating them and declaring herself the top candidate for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The board asserted that Mmesoma utilized her artificially inflated score to win a N3 million Innoson Motors scholarship and was about to receive recognition from the Anambra State government when she was found out.
Mmesoma, however, adamantly refuted the JAMB’s fraud allegations and insisted that she printed the results from the JAMB Portal in response to the forgery allegations.
She questioned whether, if she had falsified the results printed from the JAMB Portal, she had also falsified the text message from JAMB to her that verified the results she had later printed.
“My name is Ejikeme Mmesoma, and I am the owner of this result,” Mmesoma said in the viral video that SaharaReporters posted on Monday night while holding up a printout of the disputed JAMB score. I proceeded to the JAMB Portal to print this result, and when I did, I got the output seen below. These are my total 362; I printed them precisely as they appeared after being retrieved from that website.
“I am traumatized that they accused me of faking my own results since I am not capable of this forging results, yet they now claim that I falsified my JAMB results. This is the proof. Okay, they claimed that I fabricated my results. They scanned the QR code there in the result to reveal a different name, a Yoruba name called Omotola Afolabi, who received the score of 138. However, when they verified the same person again, Omotola Afolabi received the score of 338, indicating that there is a discrepancy.
“So, and on Friday of last week, we visited the office of the Commissioner of Education. Along with the SMS they provided me, my principal and the education secretary from the Anglican Girls Secondary School in the Anglican Diocese took the Commissioner there with us. She took a picture of it and sent it to a JAMB employee. When they called back, they claimed that she had fabricated the results herself and that the JAMB office didn’t have a record of them.
They now claim that I falsified it, so they contacted the DSS to come to her office, and when they arrived, they took us to their office, the student continued. We gave them our statements when we arrived, and they said they will get in touch with us later and look into the findings to find out where the source originated.
She complained that the DSS probe wasn’t over, and the JAMB raced to the media to blast her, accusing her of falsifying her UTME results.
So that’s what they (DSS) claimed, and instead of waiting for the inquiry to be finished, they (JAMB) went and posted that I had faked my findings.
