The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, on Sunday said it would withdraw the result of a certain Ejikeme Mmesoma for manually inflating her result and announcing herself as the top scorer for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

According to a statement issued by the board, Ejikeme used her manually inflated score to attract a N3 million scholarship from Innoson Motors and was set to be honnoured by the Anambra State government before she was exposed.

“The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has been drawn to several publications in both print and online media celebrating certain candidates for being high scorers 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 Joy Mmesoma, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME and was awarded a N3m scholarship by Chief (Dr.) Innocent 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 the 362 she claimed. She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain scholarships and other recognitions.”
Also speaking in the statement, the board noted that it also identified the case of another fraudulent candidate who claimed to have scored a 380 aggregate score in the last UTME.

“A similar case was that of one Atung Gerald in Kaduna, who claimed to have scored 380. His ethnic group had taken the issue up, requesting that he 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.

“The Board would, therefore, want to advise the public to always cross check these claims by candidates with the Board before rushing to honour them with undeserving awards, as certain software has been created to fake their version of their results and put same out in the public space for fun, and this is what the sponsors of these candidates are using to defraud good-spirited Nigerians such as Dr. Innocent, the founder of Innoson Motors, who sincerely desires to celebrate academic excellence by investing in the education of a young Nigerian.”

Speaking on the punishment for Ejikeme, the board noted that it would withdraw her result and also prosecute her.

“We commended the likes of Dr. Innocent Chukwuma and wish to encourage other Nigerians, who desire to invest in the future of genuine youngsters, never to be discouraged but to always ensure that they get the authentic results from the Board as done by the Anambra State Ministry of Education; otherwise they will be celebrating criminality as this is just another new fraudulent method in town. However, these candidates only succeed in manipulating what they are holding, as the authentic results are with the Board and would be transmitted to their schools of choice at the appropriate time.

“It is to be noted that Miss Mmesoma had sent a message to the Board’s platform to request her UTME result, after which she manually inflated her scores and pasted same on the 2022 UTME result sheet. Unknown to her, the Board had changed the design of the 2023 UTME result sheet. Her original result remains 249, as nothing can change that. With this her ignoble act, Miss Mmesoma would be prosecuted and her original result withdrawn. This is not all, as the Board would, in due course, investigate all candidates laying claims to higher scores than they actually obtained. Once discovered, such candidates’ original results would be withdrawn forthwith, and they would be handed over to relevant security agencies for prosecution.”

Developers promax

This is just pains from the owambe accomodating landlords

Lawdy lawd ..see mind

This is so pathetic and shocking.
At her young age,this little girl had the nerve and deceit to manipulate her result.
This is so shocking that if the information didnt come officially from JAMB itself,I would have doubted the story.
But JAMB should have stated or reinforced the pupil that scored the highest votes.
But what is this generation of under 18's turning into for God's sake!
The other day one Ekiti girl cheated her way to lay claim to one fake cooking record.Now this one.
Who knows what heinous thing another young person is cooking.

Small girl don dey learn bad things

What kind of embrassment is this biko?? Is this gal not too young too do such thing??

At the hearing of Anambra some people go wan break their phone screen say they wan click on the reply button. Just they cause ur self heart attack

This is a very serious allegation which I so much doubt. There announcement of the latest candidate generated controversy.

Saying she changed the result to get favour from innoson sounds suspicious from jamb who are notorious for changing results.

But if guilty, she and her accomplises should be punished.

Baby factory product

I have been saying it since day 1, there is nothing special about Jamb and WAEC coming from SE states, 90% are product if miracle center!!

Unless you have never been to the SE, miracle center is one of the biggest business booming there. As long as you can afford it

She should be arrested snd jailed. Anambra and Peter Obi no dey carry last for drugs and fraud.

The comments here is funny. Blaming her tribe instead of her. According to the report,a student from kaduna did the same, but because the headline has an Igbo name, let's blame igbos.

Bulldozer90:
lol even the real one is from Anambra.

The real one again from same state?

How are we sure that one self go be original?

Flathead8:

ask your jamb

Na them

TINUBU corrupting our youths with lying

Bulldozer90:

I should rather ask you.

No be you know say another original dey the state, after that , another original might still pop up.

The question is na how many original and fake highest results in the state are you aware of?

The fraud was easy because JAMB social media handles are not active.
Why can't JAMB publish top 10 on their facebook page? Even the news media were sharing the news without verification.

Verifying the highest scorer is different from alteration of the results.

Call spade what it is

If it's not peddling fake drugs, its fake jamb results from Upper Iweka myracle center

but from the original results announced by Jamb show that the highest scorer in Jamb is also from Anambra. So you can drink sniper if you like, Igbos will keep leading you guys in both Jamb, WAEC results and international academic competition
