Arise Tv News anchor Rufai Oseni, has said that the scholarship given to Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma worth over 3M and other pecks she got should be withdrawn, stating that Nigeria can not build its society based on lies.

According to Oseni, in her case, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB has been vindicated and called on the candidate’s father to come out to defend her claims on the forged result.

“People that turned this episode into a tribal slugfest must have a re-think.Let’s build a decent society together,” he said in a tweet.

“It’s sad we have built our society on lies. God knows how many results are forged daily by our Public office holders. The truth is bitter! This case is a reminder for us all to do right.

“I have hitherto stated, We must also have a forensic evaluation of the entire process of our Exams by Independent bodies to guard against debacles like this.”

It would be recalled that Mmesoma during an investigative interaction with panel members as set up by the Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, had confessed that she actually forged the acclaimed UTME result.
