Newsonline Nigeria reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said it will prosecute one Ejikeme Mmesoma for manually inflating her score from 249 to 362 and parading herself as the top scorer for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This disclosure is contained in a statement issued by the Spokesman of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday, where he noted that Mmesoma manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain scholarship and other recognitions.
JAMB, which stated that some of the results paraded by some of these candidates are fake, noted that it found the case of Mmesoma particularly pathetic as she had been awarded a N3 million scholarship by businessman, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, while a state honour was being planned to celebrate her.
The examination body said it would prosecute Mmesoma as well as withdraw her original result.
The examination body said it also uncovered one Atung Gerald from Kaduna State, who never sat the exam, but claimed to have scored 380.
