ABUJA, Nigeria – The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB has banned Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, who allegedly forged her JAMB score of 362 to emerged topper of the exam for the year 2023 from writing its exam for the next three years.
Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma is a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi, Anambra state and has insisted she did not forge her result.
In a statement, JAMB restated that the result being paraded by Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma is fake, adding that the online portal of JAMB was neither tampered with nor compromised adding that the result paraded by the student remains fake, adding that she falsified a copy of a result slip of a candidate named “Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle”, who sat for the UTME in 2021 and scored 138.
JAMB added that the Board has been issuing actual UTME RESULT Slips (not notification of results ) since 2022 complete with the photograph of each candidate.
”The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is, hereby, restating its earlier position that the UTME result being paraded by Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma is patently fake.
“Consequently, the Board would like to reassure Nigerians that its system was neither tampered with nor compromised as the candidate simply falsified a copy of a result slip of a candidate named “Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle”, who sat the UTME in 2021 and scored 138.
“It is also instructive to note that the candidate, in her statement, has inadvertently revealed the rightful owner of the result she is parading when she pointed out that the QR code on the result slip showed the actual owner of the said result before she peddled a lie in an attempt to obfuscate the truth.
“To witness the unassailable position of the Board regarding this obvious falsehood, the general public is, therefore, urged to endeavour to scan the QR code on the result slip to see its actual owner before it was mutilated.
“It is to be noted that the QR code encapsulates the UTME result of each candidate, hence, what is on the result sheet is nothing other than the interpretation of the information on this QR code.
“Furthermore, the public is also to note that the Board stopped issuing Notification of Result slips after the 2021 UTME for the simple reason that candidates were falsifying them. Consequently, the Board has been issuing actual UTME RESULT Slips (not notification of results ) since 2022 complete with the photograph of each candidate.
