A lawyer named Johnmary Maduakolam has issued a threat to sue the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, and the Board's management if they fail to apologize to Mmesoma Ejikeme, an Anambra pupil who was accused by JAMB of manually inflating her 2023 UTME result. In a letter addressed to Oloyede, the lawyer emphasized that Mmesoma was incapable of forging her own results and criticized JAMB for not protecting the girl's identity.

Identifying himself as Chief Johnmary Akachukwu Maduakolam, a legal practitioner and the President of Johnmary Akachukwu Maduakolam Initiative for Education, the lawyer expressed shock at the circular issued by JAMB, which accused Mmesoma Ejikeme, a minor and student of Anglican Girls Secondary School Nnewi, of faking JAMB scores to gain the attention of philanthropists. The lawyer argued that JAMB, under Oloyede's leadership, defamed the girl, subjected her to public humiliation, and failed to fulfill its obligations under the Child's Right Act.

According to reports, JAMB claimed that Ejikeme manually increased her UTME result from 249 to 362 and used the inflated score to secure a N3m scholarship from Innoson Motors, which was to be awarded by the Anambra state government before the incident came to light. In the lawyer's letter, he pointed out that information in the media suggested that JAMB, not the girl, might be responsible for issuing fake results. Even if the girl had forged her results, the lawyer asserted that the law provided her with certain protections as a child.

Maduakolam requested that Oloyede immediately retract the malicious publication against the girl, issue an unreserved apology, and take prompt action to alleviate the trauma caused by JAMB's conduct. He warned that if these demands were not met, he would file a lawsuit against Oloyede, and the costs would be borne by the JAMB Registrar. The lawyer's letter sought to advocate for the welfare of the child and hold JAMB accountable for its actions.

Is it possible that Mmesoma did not forge her result?
