The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended Ejikeme Mmesoma from writing its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for three years over alleged forgery of her 2023 result.

This was contained in a statement on Tuesday morning, by Sunday Fabian Benjamin, its Head of Public Affairs and Protocol.

The board, which first raised alarm on Miss Ejikeme’s result on Sunday, insisted that it was forged, explaining that it had since stopped issuing Notification of Result slips after the 2021 UTME for the simple reason that candidates were falsifying them.

JAMB reassured “Nigerians that its system was neither tampered with nor compromised as the candidate simply falsified a copy of a result slip of a candidate named ‘Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle”, who sat the UTME in 2021 and scored 138.”
It is also instructive to note that the candidate, in her statement, has inadvertently revealed the rightful owner of the result she is parading when she pointed out that the QR code on the result slip showed the actual owner of the said result before she peddled a lie in an attempt to obfuscate the truth.

“To witness the unassailable position of the Board regarding this obvious falsehood, the general public is, therefore, urged to endeavour to scan the QR code on the result slip to see its actual owner before it was mutilated.“It is to be noted that the QR code encapsulates the UTME result of each candidate, hence, what is on the result sheet is nothing other than the interpretation of the information on this QR code.

“Furthermore, the public is also to note that the Board stopped issuing Notification of Result slips after the 2021 UTME for the simple reason that candidates were falsifying them. Consequently, the Board has been issuing actual UTME RESULT Slips (not notification of results ) since 2022 complete with the photograph of each candidate.
Similarly, the public is also invited to ponder on the fact that out of all the candidates that sat the 2023 UTME, only Ms. Ejikeme Mmesoma parades the obsolete ‘Notification of Result.’

“The Board remains unperturbed by this unfortunate development as this is not the first time such fraudulent claims have been made. As such, Nigerians are urged to recall numerous occasions where the Board was sued for billions of naira only for the lawyers to later apologise profusely for their clients’ misadventure. Prominent among these is the case of a candidate, John Chinedu Ifesinachi, who, in 2021, wrote a letter to the Board , threatening to sue for N2b damages, only for him and his counsel to tender unreserved apology when the candidate eventually confessed his crime in the face of incontrovertible facts in an open investigation observed by several national public institutions including the Public Complaints Commission, National Human Rights Commission, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Council, Servicom and media houses.


“This case has, therefore, being rightly handed over to relevant security agencies for thorough investigation to unravel the masterminds of yet another unfortunate scam. The Board is not averse to public scrutiny and is ready for open public session involving the agencies listed above as well as relevant security agencies where the candidate , parent’s guardian and her legal team will be present.

“Another frightening dimension to the unfolding drama is the unwholesome interest of some nefarious elements, who to all intents and purposes, are determined to goad the candidate on this unproductive path as any casual observer would observe with the obviously stage-managed video aired by Ms. Ejikeme. The Board urges these confusionists to have a rethink as their evil machinations would soon come to light.

“Again, the Board restates its readiness for genuine scrutiny as this case would not be the first time and might not even be the last of such shenanigans. At the end of the day, the truth would manifest and the Board vindicated.


“In the meantime, the management of the Board urges member of the public to examine critically the issue at hand and avoid fake news trafficking
“In the meantime, the management of the Board, after considering the weighty infraction committed by Ms. Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, and in line with it’s established procedures, has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the next three years.”

That is too Harsh

So what is she supposed to do during the 3 years

Let her take the Jamb again next year

Just give her a Private warning

Why is JAMB railroading this issue without investigating properly? Could the poor girl's school be involved in this sham without her knowledge? Could it be as a result of negligence of duty or human error or malfunctioning of system on the part of JAMB.

Is JAMB trying to pin their inefficiency on the poor girl?

If INEC could do it why not JAMB?

Her people go start wailing now the matter con tie gele

She lucky it is not WAEC she was dealing with.
There will be no way she will be allowed near the exam.
Just ask school that were blacklisted by WAEC .

Chief, forgery is a big offence.If jamb takes it up further, she may be jailed sef.
Nothing like small forgery here.

Since when did Jamb or other bodies become responsible and flawless....?

INEC flopped..who is Jamb?... Weak dead corrupt organizational headed by ofcourse a yoro mooslim..

Trash

FCS, we too like petty gossiping discussion for Nigeria

How I wish we could channel our energy on the politicians that have been useless.

Let the girl be

So jamb just scanned the qr code?

After the right president is sworn in, the shameless JAMB officials will be sacked and prosecuted. Then she will be rightfully accredited as the highest scorer for 2023. All these SWAGA hate politics will eventually fail.

They should investigate the centre wherever she printed her JAMB result.

Its possible its a centre where they do Jamb results upgrade and they printed it for her without her kmowledge.

Minority speesh

I think the reason why this simple case has been escalated is because o the usual victim syndrome of the girls people. They've blown it out of proportion and have made the authorities defensive given the attacks on their credibility, all in the name of exonerating a felon who happens to be from their tribe.

I think JAMB should just let this slide with a slap on her wrist. They need to understand those people are still hurt and grieving from their recent botched attempt at taking over the reigns of power in the country. They'd do and say anything to vent their frustrations from that loss.

Let it slide

Trust Me, Ndigbo will fly this young lady abroad where she would get the best Education....

Modified
For those quoting me, Jamb is the only culprit here, whether you not Young Mmesoma scored 362.
Its not her fault that Jamb had technically issues..
Many of them are tagging me tribal bigot, but they look away, when many Yoruba's here in this forum called Ndigbo all sort of names when the news first broke out..

Yes, I'm backing the Young Mmesoma simply because she is Igbo, if you aren't comfortable with it, jump in the closest lagoon. Nitwits.

Jogs1900:

Chief, forgery is a big offense.If jamb takes it up further, she may be jailed sef.
Nothing like small forgery here.

The JAMB officials are the ones who will be arrested and prosecuted in the full length of time. When the Obi administration commisions an inquiry into what happened, don't come here and be saying witch-hunt.

ImmaculateJOE:

Encouraging forgery?

Let's be watching.

If she's found guilty..... please punish her accordingly.

But if she's not found guilty......JAMB should severely be punished for character assassination

but we have many bigger more in the current house or rep and senate house.
Jamb should employ whoever did that alteration then sack some people for these anomalies. I had other Hausa boy who scored higher before this girl saga came up, never even registered for the examination.

Jamb is a shame here, not the girl

Instead of sticking to the meat of the matter, you went the Hitler way.

After watching JAMB spokesman on Channels this morning, I’m becoming more convinced that Mmesoma’s result might be fake.

I can’t be like Tinubu people who are incapable of admitting error because it involves their tribesmen.

It's not any Victim mentality.

The girl boldly said she was accused and that her scanned code showed Another name.

So it might be technical issue from the JAMB.

If I'm accused.....I must voice out

That young girl is already traumatised. If anything happens to her.....

It's not fake. It's politics. Some wise guy in SWAGA came up with the wild idea to make this political. They feel this is a good way to tarnish Obi.

She is supposed to be in jail for that period of 3 years.

Alaye stay calm and stop this swaga rubbish.


Let proper investigation be made.

If she's guilty (going by evidences JAMB board are presenting)......she should be punished.


If she's innocent (going by the fact that she has been the best student in her schools since primary school and champion of many quiz competition)........ JAMB board should pay severely

This would be borderline impossible to prove but does anyone think it is beyond the realm of possibilities?

Any word from her teachers etc?

u guys are funny and make me laugh. Witch hunt but the actual highest is still from anambra. Can u see u are not making sense at all. Forget the presidential result which was obviously flawed but this particular girl either knowingly forged the result or somebody's helped her with it and jamb have giving u proof but u are still on about witch hunting.

A minor jailed? What brand of weed exactly are you smoking?
