FACT-CHECK: How Mmesoma Ejikeme’s Fake JAMB UTME Result Came About
Published 4th Jul, 2023

By Daniel Ojukwu



Mmesoma Ejikeme, a 19-year-old student, has come under fire for allegedly parading a fake Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result.

Ejikeme was initially celebrated for scoring 362 in the 2023 examination, a result that would make her the highest scorer, but the board has come out to say the result she parades is false.

One key argument JAMB made was that the slip Ejikeme paraded was last used in 2021, and the QR code attached reveals a result belonging to one Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle with a 138 score.


Ejikeme, in a video released on Monday, maintained her innocence, but the debate has raged on. JAMB said her result might have been the work of forgers who pull off pranks to show friends, so FIJ looked into this claim.

OUR ANALYSIS
FIJ checked Google Playstore for applications that could help one manipulate UTME results and found one called ‘JambFun-Fake Jamb Result Maker’.

JambFun-Fake Jamb Result Maker
This app helps users create fake UTME results to “fool your friends!”

We downloaded this app and opened it to reveal a mock ‘JAMB 2022 UTME Results Notification’ slip.

What we did afterwards was fill out the form with sample details to see if it would produce a result similar to the one paraded by Ejikeme. Our finding was staggering.

This result confirmed that one could get a result identical to the one Ejikeme paraded, but did not confirm it was the same app she used to obtain hers.

With the result we forged via the app, FIJ, a candidate in an exam it did not sit for, scored 400 in UTME.

We then went further to scan the QR code, and what we found was more revealing.

The result of our scan showed “11231597AC :: Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle :: 138”, the same result we obtained when we scanned Ejikeme’s paraded result.

FIJ took notice of a tweet published by one Chijioke Chimeziri on Monday. Reacting to a video published by Ejikeme, in which she revealed that her QR code showed another candidate’s name, Chimeziri had attached another result allegedly belonging to Ejikeme, but with a different QR code claiming she scored 362.

We observed that the QR code on this result appeared superimposed on the result, as the code was on a bright shade of white, while the result was on a shade of green. It was doctored.

More claims arose by members of the public claiming people had suffered the same fate in the hands of JAMB in the past.

One Atung Gerald, a native of Kaura, Kaduna State, allegedly scored 380 in the UTME exam, but when we scanned the QR code attached to his peddled result, it read the same “11231597AC :: Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle :: 138”. All this points to one thing: the results came from one source with a unique code that returns “11231597AC :: Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle :: 138”. And the source? ‘JambFun-Fake Jamb Result Maker’.

FIJ went further to obtain two original results from applicants who wrote the 2023 UTME exam. When we scanned their results however, they returned a code that led nowhere. This simply means that codes attached to original 2023 UTME results can’t return scores via the common QR Code – Barcode Scanner.

As of press time, Ejikeme had not changed her stance. JAMB maintains a fraud was perpetrated, but it remains to be seen how the events unfold.

My JAMB score was 217 in 1999 to gain admission into the university. Those years we used HB pencil to shade during exams and go to JAMB office at Ikoyi to check our results. How am I sure that was my result sef? JAMB must have reduced my scores.

Lemme go crosscheck first. I still have my notification of result.

this girl has seen sheygay.

her head must be spinning like helicopter blades

As far say Na still Anambra person get what's the fuss

Screenshots below.

The scam was intended to get scholarship from Innosan, she didn't intend to get to this level.

But now she is going to get her name Stained forever.

The girl doubling down caused the fuss.

This is the whole truth here.

The case was over the moment jamb made it clear that their portal stopped using that particular result printout format since 2021. The girl is most likely keeping bad company that convinced her to play along with the scam. They would have gotten away with it if not for the Anambra State government that contacted jamb for verification.

Hmmm

RAND250:

That is the question we should be asking Anambrarians and Igbos who have been supporting the fraud while casting aspersions on JAMB and the Registrar who is Yoruba and Muslim that they love to hate.

In their bid to be tribally clannish as they have always been, and to claim victim and draw hate to another tribe seeing that the JAMB Registrar is not Igbo, they have completely abandoned the Igbo student who actually scored the highest.

Very shameless beings.

Exactly.

The app used for the forgery is called Jamb fun fake result. And it's on Google playstore.

She's a pro. At 19, she's not a girl and legally she's no longer a minor so let us wait for the law to take it's full course. Thank you OP and FIJ for this exposition.

The case of a 19 year old lady in Bayelsa being prosecuted by DSS for cyber stalking and releasing the nudes of a former Perm. Sec she had sexual affairs with comes to my mind. The victim of that 19-year old had died during the criminal trial yet DSS continued the full criminal trial of the 19-year old. So at 19, she has gone pass the age of innocence.

Mmesoma Ejikeme (& Ors) too should have her day in court since she has denied that she forged the results. She's reached the age of accountability. Criminal case of FG vs Mmesoma Ejikeme & Ors is loading from how she and others denied this alleged crime.
Check my signature for free stuffs!

A fact remains that this Mmesoma of a giro has been exceptional from the beginning right from primary, through secondary school till date.

The problem must have arise from the JAMB portal which has been a recurrent issue as it has happened to other students before given what the report have revealed. So JAMB should better not pin their inefficiency on a poor distraughted young school girl.

One key argument JAMB made was that the slip Ejikeme paraded was last used in 2021, and the QR code attached reveals a result belonging to one Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle with a 138 score.

Looks like Mmesoma is in deep problem

At the end, the JAMB slip she was parading was obviosuly faked. They should let the real winner take the plaudits.

Something was up.

If FIJ is on your case, wahala dey.

Can you show us the proof that this happened to other candidates who sat for the exams in 2023.
Or you didn’t read where jamb said they stop using that format on the result she’s parading since 2021.
You can do better.

Are you saying the obsolete result slip printed out is jamb fault?

Each candidate sends an sms UTMERESULT to 55019 and your result would be sent to you. Have you seen what is paraded as the response she got from Jamb?

This is the fact that needs to be propagated, and not about JAMB having issues.

The App that many have mentioned is responsible for this fraud, gives the same QR code to all its users and originally belongs to a candidate with a failed result in 2021.

The App developers deliberately chose a failed score as the QR ID of their result output.

The response she got from jamb and her text are on the same side.

Shouldn't messages received be on another side on Android phones..

She simply wrote that again just as jamb alleged she was sending that 365 and the server kept giving her 249.

She deleted the jamb response and claimed the one she wrote herself is the actual results generated by the Sms not knowing Airtel can easily regenerate her text correspondence if need be.

Even the registration number ends with EE while that on the fake result generated from the jamb Fake result app ends with FF.
They were in such a hurry they even couldn't even get her date of Birth right.

This is a case of high level fraud.

The young lady maybe playing with jail time.

That's another angle to look at

She's still being aid, encouraged and supported by her people.

At this instance, She should be prosecuted, we wants to know what they'll do

I respect your wisdom sir. I thought I am smart until this Mmesoma Ejikeme's case. His supporters completely fooled me.
