JAMBITE, Ejikeme Mmesoma, revealed JAMB called the DSS to investigate result forgery allegations.
Mmesoma recently scored 362 in the UTME but the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) which conducts the UTME, had declared Mmesoma’s 362 UTME score as fake.
The board claimed that her score was manually inflated, as her original score was 249. JAMB also announced the immediate withdrawal of Mmesoma’s UTME score.
Mmesoma said she was invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) where her statement was taken, and she was told that investigation was ongoing.
She said she felt traumatised by the incident, adding that, “there must be problem somewhere”.
Reacting, Romanus Ejikeme, the girl’s father, and her school principal, Mrs. Egum Uchechukwu, said Mmesoma is a brilliant child.
They both called for a thorough investigation on the matter so as not to destroy her life and tarnish her educational pursuit.
