Ejikeme Mmesoma, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi, Anambra State, who was accused by the ZJOINT Admissions and Matriculation ZBOARD, JAMB, of inflating her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, has denied any wrong doing.
Fabian Benjamin, JAMB spokesperson, had in a statement, said Nmesoma, who announced that she scored over 362 marks, making her the highest for 2023 UTME, inflated her scores, as she actually scored 249 in the exam and said JAMB would withdraw tfecredult and prosecute the student.
However, Nmesoma denied any wrong doing, insisting that she printed her result from JAMB portal.
According to the student, who said she was I’m able of forging the result added that she had always been a brilliant pupil, even from her primary school days.
“I’m the owner of this result. I went to the JAMB portal to print this result and this is what they gave me. This is the result here. So, this is my aggregate; 362.
“This is exactly how I printed it. They now saying that I forged my result is what I don’t know and I am traumatised that they accused me of forging my own results because I am not capable of this.
“They scanned the QR code and said it showed another name (Omotola Afolabi 138) and that same person that got 138, they checked again the person got 338, meaning that there is a problem somewhere.
“My principal and I went to the Commissioner of Education office last Friday. We showed the result to the commissioner of education and she snapped it and sent it to the JAMB officials. They called back, saying it is a forged result. They called the DSS over to their office. The DSS took us to their office and we made our statement. They said we would be contacted later after investigating the result where it came from.
“Instead of them to wait for the investigation to be over, they posted that I forged my result without confirming. I’m really sad. Since my nursery school I have been taking first. I scored over 300 in my common entrance. I’m a brilliant girl. I am not an illiterate that would forge results.”
