JAMB Withdraws Result Of Candidate For Score Falsification

It was earlier reported that Miss Ejikeme had claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME, and was awarded a scholarship by Innocent Chukwuma, the CEO of Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Company.

“The attention of JAMB has been drawn to several publications in both print and online media celebrating certain candidates for scoring high in the 2023 UTME. ”The Board is constrained to set the records straight and wishes to state unequivocally that many of the results which many of these candidates are parading are fake.

”In many instances, some of these candidates had actually obtained far lower scores than they are claiming and had used some funny software packages to manipulate their results to deceive unsuspecting members of the public. ”The most pathetic of them all is the case of Miss Ejikeme, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME and was awarded N3m scholarship by Chukwuma,”

“She was even set to be honoured by the Anambra State government when one of its top officials put a call through to JAMB to confirm her claim, only for the board to reveal that Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma had actually scored 249 and not 362 she claimed. She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain scholarships and other recognition.

“The board would like to state that the likes of Mmesoma are still out there deceiving those who are always in a hurry to bestow honours on candidates without confirming from the board.”“A similar case was that of Atung Gerald in Kaduna, who claimed to have scored 380. His ethnic group had taken the issue up, requesting that he should be given special recognition, only for the board to disappoint them with the incontestable fact that Atung never obtained the 2023 UTME application documents, not to talk of sitting the examination.

“She was even set to be honoured by the Anambra State government when one of its top officials put a call through to JAMB to confirm her claim, only for the board to reveal that Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma had actually scored 249 and not 362 she claimed. She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain scholarships and other recognition. “The board would, therefore, want to advise the public to always crosscheck these claims, by candidates, with the board before rushing to honour them with undeserving awards as certain software have been created to fake their version of their results and put same out in the public space for fun.
