The board released a result slip which it confirmed as authentic showing that her result for 2023 UTME was 249.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Tuesday released more Authentic evidences to prove its allegations of forgery against Anambra State candidate, Mmesoma Ejikeme.
The board released a result slip which it confirmed as authentic showing that her result for 2023 UTME was 249.
Ejikeme had been paraded as the top scorer of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
However, the new documents released by JAMB show that Eijkeme’s actual result was 249, not 362 she was parading.
MyTrendCaster also earlier reported that Jamb barred Eijkeme for three years over alleged forgery of UTME results.
This was contained in a statement made available on Tuesday morning by the Board’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, where JAMB insisted that only Mmesoma paraded an “obsolete” notification slip out of all the candidates that sat the 2023 UTME.
“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.”
