JAMB TO PROSECUTE, WITHDRAW RESULT OF ANAMBRA CANDIDATE, GIVES REASON

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has vowed to withdraw the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result of Ejikeme Mmesoma over alleged manipulation of her scores.

Mmesoma is also to face prosecution for allegedly deceiving the public to fraudulently obtain scholarships and other recognitions.

Recall that Mmesoma, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME, was recently celebrated and awarded an N3 million scholarship by Innocent Chukwuma, Chairman of Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Company.

But JAMB, in a statement signed by its Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday in Abuja, described as fake the result being paraded by the candidate, saying her original score was 249 and was manipulated to 362.
