Innoson Calls For Investigation Over UTME Fraud Allegation on Candidate

Cornel Osigwe, Head of Corporate Communications at Innoson Group, has urged for an investigation into the claims of certificate fabrication leveled against Mmesoma Ejikeme, who claimed to be the top scorer in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

Osigwe in a post via his official Twitter handle, @cornelosigwe said, “The girl I met doesn’t have the brain and capacity to manipulate her result. There is more to this story. A proper investigation needs to be done. Abeg let the poor breath.

“That girl was one of the most brilliant in her school, according to the Principal, her parents couldn’t even afford to pay for her WAEC and NECO Exams. Of what advantage will it offer her to manipulate her JAMB score? Let the poor breathe pls.”

JAMB Accuse Anambra Pupil, Mmesoma Ejikeme of Faking Result, Reveals Her Original Score

According to Anaedoonline.ng, Ejikeme was chastised by JAMB for claiming to be the top scorer.

In a statement issued on Sunday evening, the board stated that Ejikeme manually inflated her UTME score from 249 to 362 and used her inflated score to obtain a N3m scholarship from Innoson Motors, which was set to be awarded by the Anambra State Government until she was uncovered.

“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 362 she claimed. She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain a scholarship and other recognitions,” a statement by JAMB said.

According to JAMB, Ejikeme would be prosecuted and her initial result will be withdrawn.
