Anambra girl Mmesoma Ejikeme, who was accused of forging her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, has said that the allegation has left her traumatised.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Sunday accused Ms Ejikeme of manipulating her result for monetary gain.
The board claimed Ejikeme manually inflated her UTME result from 249 to 362 and used her manually inflated score to attract a N3m scholarship from Innoson Motors and was set to be awarded by the Anambra State Government before she was exposed.
Responding in a video shared on social media on Monday, Ejikeme said, “My name is Ejikeme Mmesoma. I’m the owner of this result. I went to the JAMB portal to print this result and this is the result they gave me. This is my aggregate, 362.
“They scanned the QR code on my result and it showed a Yoruba name — Omotola Afolabi who scored 138.
“The same Omotola scored 338 when it was rechecked and this evidence showed that there is a problem.

“This is exactly how I printed and downloaded it from their site. So saying that I forged my result is what I don’t know and I am traumatised that they accused me of forging my results because I’m not capable of forging my result.”
Ejikeme however stressed that both JAMB and the Department of State Services did not carry out their investigation on the matter before the board concluded that she forged her result.
The spokesperson of JAMB Fabian Benjamin is yet to react to the video at the time of filing this report.
