The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, on Tuesday, said the Board had concluded investigations on the case of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidate, Mmesoma Ejikeme, who was accused of fraudulently inflating her 2023 UTME score.

Oloyede made this disclosure in a transcript sent to our correspondent from

He said, “The truth is that JAMB has concluded the investigation on Nmesoma’s score falsification matter. She was not the only one caught, just that others have chosen not to go out”, Oloyede said.

“Presently, there is an industry faking results and unfortunately they cannot penetrate JAMB system, reasons being that (our) system is foolproofed and we will prove it any time. It is unfortunate that parents and some of the candidates that are being fooled are not aware that they are only being fooled.


“There is internal evidence to show that the change in Ejikeme’s scores was done with her collaboration. There are certain features pertaining to her that only her knows unless she makes it available to somebody else. They couldn’t have increased her scores on her behalf.”

The Registrar said he had earlier spoken with a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, on Nmesoma’s matter, and told her that it was a high-level scam.

“We improved on our facilities this year, so Ejikeme and her collaborators are still living in the past. I spoke with Mrs Ezekwesili on the matter and I told her that it is a high-level scam and I told her that it was a careless forgery.

“This is because we are no longer using some of the things they used in changing those results since 2021. We used that pattern in 2021 and you saw what happened and many of such individuals were caught as well and they were treated accordingly,” he stated.

“Presently, there is an industry faking results and unfortunately they cannot penetrate JAMB system, reasons being that (our) system is foolproofed...

Beremx:
They still have no proof she forged her result. How will she forge the result to be the highest scorer?

JAMB is just like INEC, two failed entities

Lol you people and defending anything ask anyone who du Jamb this for the Format of there results and do a simple comparison abi why her own format dey different from other people own.....


Have seen any candidate coming online to counter Jamb say that's the real Printout format...

Maize247:
Why should the registrar have to speak with Ezekwezile on the matter. Ibo will always defend their own no matter the offense

Beremx:
there's still no proof she forged her result. I expect JAMB to investigate the site responsible for dishing out fake results instead of accusing the girl of forgery. It's like accusing the victim and ignoring the culprit

In case this gets to the front page...

I am using my first-to-comment financial reward to admit and treat all the because she is Igbo people of their senseless emotional disease that always push them to play the victim card.

That is the little I can do for humanity.

She is not innocent, but I can agree with the word naive.

Those holding the argument that because she scored high in her common entrance exams eventually purge her of any wrongdoing, would as well consider taking a common entrance exam to rid themselves of that burden they called a brain 🧠. 😏

The express conclusion of this investigation by JAMB on that secondary school girl while its investigation for many months could not locate the snake that swallowed N30m in their office go take style favour me and my family

ImperialYoruba:


SE, particularly Anambra is notorious for forging exam results. It did not start today, but the registrar confirmed they just went online with a new foolproof system that will crush the forgery practise in force for many years.

Under the old system Mmesoma could not have been caught. So hopefully going forward we will begin see best student result come from academic excellence produced around the country, and not from just one zone year after year
