Alleged Fake Result: Mmesoma admits to forging UTME score

Ejikeme Mmesoma who was accused of manipulating her results and inflating her UTME scores from 249 to 362 by the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) has admitted to forging her UTME score.

Mmesoma spoke in an interview on Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily on Wednesday.

Appearing on the live TV, Mmesoma argued that she ought not to be blamed for the controversy, insisting that her ban for three is unfair.

She stated, “It’s not my fault that I printed my result like that and they said that I forged my result. It’s not my fault. So, them banning it is not fair.”

The 19-year-old claimed her “results notification” slip for the UTME showing a score of 362 out of 400 was printed from the JAMB results portal.

“It’s not my fault that I printed my result like that and they said that I forged my result. It’s not my fault. So, them banning it is not fair,” she said.

According to her, the only SMS she sent to JAMB was through its support system.

“They didn’t reply. If they check their JAMB Support System, they would see that I sent a text message. They didn’t reply. The one I checked through the USSD code is the one of 360 (sic) that I saw.”

“After all said and done, I now saw that I got 249. I sent them a text message there to know what really happened — the JAMB Support System. If they go to their system, they will see it there,” she said.
