The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) published further evidence on Tuesday to support its charges of forgery against Anambra State candidate Mmesoma Ejikeme.
The board sent a result slip, which it validated as genuine, indicating that her result for the 2023 UTME was 249.
Ejikeme had been announced as the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination top scorer.
However, recent JAMB documents show that Eijkeme’s true result was 249, not the 362 she was parading.
JAMB Accuse Anambra Pupil, Mmesoma Ejikeme of Faking Result, Reveals Her Original Score
Earlier, news outlets reported that JAMB has disqualified Mmesoma Ejikeme for three years for allegedly forging UTME results.
This was stated in a statement released by the Board’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday morning, in which JAMB insisted that only Mmesoma exhibited a “obsolete” notification sheet out of all the applicants who took 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.”
