Video: “The QR code on my result showed a Yoruba name” — JAMB accused Candidate, Mmesoma Ejikeme makes damning revelations

 Young teenager, Mmesoma Ejikeme, accused by the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board JAMB of forging her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on Monday has reacted to the allegations levelled against her by the examination body.

Ejikeme in a video denied forging her result, noting that the mixup may have actually come from JAMB.

It would be recalled that JAMB on Sunday accused Ejikeme of manually inflating her UTME result from 249 to 362 to attract a N3m scholarship from Innoson Motors and was set to be awarded by the Anambra state government before she was exposed.

“The most pathetic of them all is the case of Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME and was awarded a N3m scholarship by Chief (Dr.) Innocent Chukwuma.

"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 362 she claimed.

"She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain a scholarship and other recognitions,” a statement by JAMB said.

Ejikeme in a video denied the claims.

In her words: 

 “My name is Ejikeme Mmesoma. I’m the owner of this result. I went to the JAMB portal to print this result and this is the result they gave me. This is my aggregate, 362.

“They scan the QR code on my result and it showed a Yoruba name — Omotola Afolabi who scored 138.

“The same Omotola scored 338 when it was rechecked and this evidence showed that there is a problem.

“This is exactly how I printed and downloaded it from their site. So saying that I forged my result is what I don’t know and I am traumatised that they accused me of forging my results because I’m not capable of forging my result,” she added.

She accused JAMB of not carry its investigation on the matter with DSS before the board concluded that she forged her result.
