Entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has reacted to the controversy surrounding Mmesoma Ejikeme’s 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result.
Ms Ejikeme, who claimed to have scored 362, the highest in the 2023 UTME, was accused by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of fabricating her result.
However, in a viral video on Monday, Ejikeme expressed shock that a result she printed out from the JAMB webpage was labelled as fake by the examination board without probe.

Ejikeme fiercely refuted the allegation, stating that she is not capable of forging her own result.
Reacting to the development, Charly Boy expressed scepticism over JAMB’s allegations in a tweet on Monday night.
He called on the board to make Ejikeme’s examination papers available for re-mark by an external body.
He wrote, “JAMB must produce her paper for an external body to remark. I don’t trust the mark they claim they awarded her right now.
“JAMB has ended up making the young girl popular and the girl on the other hand exposed JAMB corruption & ineptitude just like INEC.”
