JAMB insisted that only Mmesoma paraded an “obsolete” notification slip out of all the candidates that sat the 2023 UTME.

The House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the National Assembly, will set up an ad hoc committee to investigate allegations of manipulation of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result levelled against Anambra State candidate, Ejikeme Mmesoma.

The House confirmed this on Wednesday, as the committee would begin probe on the sundry allegations against the schoolgirl by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

SaharaReporters had on Tuesday reported that JAMB barred Ejikeme for three years over alleged forgery of UTME results.

In a statement made available by the Board’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, JAMB insisted that only Mmesoma paraded an “obsolete” notification slip out of all the candidates that sat the 2023 UTME.

“In the meantime, the management of the Board, after considering the weighty infraction committed by Ms. Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, and in line with its established procedures, has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the next three years.”

SaharaReporters earlier today reported that the Anambra State government also set up an eight-member committee of enquiry to investigate the allegations against Mmesoma Ejikeme.

The state government, however, faulted the way JAMB has handled the situation which had become a major controversy in the country, with people taking sides.

The state government faulted JAMB for going on social media to describe Mmesoma’s result as fake while an investigation into the matter was still ongoing.

In a statement issued to journalists on Wednesday, the state information commissioner, Paul Nwosu, had said the new committee would be chaired by Prof. Nkemdili Nnonyelu.

The statement had read, “The Anambra State Government has, for obvious reasons, been following the JAMB/Mmesoma Ejike matter with keen interest.

“It is important to note that Miss Mmesoma Ejike went to the office of the Anambra State Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh with her UTME result to protest that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board didn’t recognise her as the candidate with the highest score.

“The Commissioner in turn called JAMB to confirm her claim, but she was told that Mmesoma’s result was forged."

E don reach like that?? If it's true that she falsified her result, hmmm...

I pity the girl. Jambfunapp don hook throat

The matter don get many faces

I still can't fathom why any sensible girl will fake her JAMB result to have the HIGHEST SCORE. Highest score that will easily attract nationwide publicity & also attract the attention of JAMB to come & easily expose it as fake.

&she still went ahead to protest to Anambra Education Commissioner that Jamb didn't recognise her highest score.
It simply doesn't add up.

When it turns out that Jamb is in line, the girl's national and international image is further damage.


They better becareful, so that the girl won't be considering suicide, going forward.


She is a girl child and tender, and they are very fragile emotionally.

when she can't stand the Shame, she may consider a brut exit means.

Woke oversabi clout chasers will soon burn everything to the ground.

You see how sentimental JAMB appears. You claimed that someone in North forged result but you didn't involve DSS not made it known to the public years ago. Why so quick to involve DSS on a little girl because she is from SE knowing that she actually scored higher scores. How quick JAMB spread the news shows there is something fishy. Last last, JAMB will loose the case because National Assembly is involved and they will hire professional software engineers to prove JAMB wrong. JAMB will be uselessed like APC in court today.

The girl and her family don't have good advisers. She will surely reap what she sowed

It'd not only affect the girl, every student from Anambra will be under tough scrutiny henceforth. Anambra educational standards may no longer be trusted.

It's Anambra State Government that called DSS

Good! Waiting for the outcome. Fingers crossed!

The write-up did not address my comment. It only confirmed her result was fake based on her CBT Center name & Result Template. I never doubted it was fake.

I said I can't fathom why any sensible girl will fake her JAMB result to have the HIGHEST SCORE. Highest score that will easily attract nationwide publicity & also attract the attention of JAMB to come & easily expose it as fake.

It's practically impossible to do all these, without getting caught.
It's like stealing an expensive rough diamond, & later come out to brag that you own the most expensive diamond necklace in the country.

If she was involved in the fake, then she must be very insensible & a hardened criminal.
Else she may be an innocent victim of a fraudulent JAMB result scheme.

I.understand you now
Probably for the publicity and to profit from it materially or financially to the extent of going to the commissioner's office for recognition not knowing that they will confirm from jamb.
