The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has cancelled the unified tertiary matriculation examination (UTME) result of Kingsley Unekwe for altering his score.

The board said 18- year old Unekwe was caught inflating his original UTME score from 201 to 269.


He becomes the fifth person whose UTME result has been withdrawn and cancelled by the board.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this to reporters when Unekwe and his mother appeared before some officials of the board in Abuja on Friday.

The registrar said Unekwe had edited the original score allocated to him by the board and presented it to his parents as the original result.

He said the boy’s parent had called the board, alleging irregularities in their son’s result, leading to their invitation to Abuja from Awka, Anambra state.

Unekwe, in the presence of his mother and officials of JAMB, confessed to have tampered with the original UTME result allocated to him by the board.

He said his original score of 201 didn’t meet the requirement to read medicine which his parents wanted him to study at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

He explained that to make his parents happy, and proud, he had to edit the original UTME result to meet their expectation of him becoming a doctor.

Unekwe appealed to the board for clemency, feigning ignorance of his crime.

But JAMB registrar said the boy would be handed over to security agencies for prosecution.

Prof. Oloyede said: “Anybody who does post-result infraction, will have their results withdrawn by the board.

“You are the fifth person. Two of them are already being prosecuted because we showed them clearly that they forged their results to deceive their parents who are desperate, like your parents are to study medicine.

“We will prosecute you for attempting to damage the image of the board. We told your father that we have all the facts, if we find out that the facts are not correct you will be prosecuted.'

Bad pikin , better parents.

Chai! Oloyede isn't smiling at all. So, you're not even free from JAMB's hammer after the release of results. Good development, though. This will serve as deterrent to all those "upgrade your UTME score" crooks.

the boy, the parent, the jamb, all parties involved are Nigerians right? They are all mad people that's why.

Ok

If he had succeeded like others prosecuted they would have been rated ignorantly as the best not knowing help my little brain plenty for their land, just as waec ignorantly rated their examination discrepancy

He only tampered with the result he printed which is in no way JAMB property.

True, a result checking card of N500 is capable of solving the whole problem

Anu mpama!

Now, jamb ar eager to prosecute someone who was wrong but ar not ready to take d blame for witholding d results of a graduate frim tulip secondary school in abuja!!! After so many clear evidences d boy is a born talent... Dey kept mute!!!! Jamb are lik bubu... Very clueless board

Good for the parents. Parental pressure makes children to do the unthinkable.
My child must read medicine, my child must read pharmacy, my child must become a nurse bla bla bla. This is the effect.

Lol

Forget this Prof. Not to justify the action of the young boy. but This same man was invited by Human Rights Radio and Television Brekete Family a popular radio station program to those staying in Abuja to explain or apologize for the irregularities surrounding this year's Jamb, he refused.

the evidence were so overwhelming.

The boy don't know how digital JAMB have gone. The university of his first choice will see only his original result in their central admission processing system but not the manipulated result. A very childish act.

That is it, they are not talking about the boy's own because they don't have any good reason or prove to withhold his results

But this one that they have prove they went ahead

I know while reading the news that someone must make this kind of comment.
So, it's a crime for ur parents to sort for a better option of career for you?
Did the parent told the boy to go an commit the crime?

If the boy said that he never liked to study medicine and lack the capability to understand the subjects, that's where u will somehow blame the parents for forcing an intended career to someone that has no interest in the career.

djfabmusik:



how? was it the parents asked him to tamper with the result

The idea of my son being a doctor by fire by force was what lead that boy to such mess
