The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Jamb, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, Tuesday spoke of the gravity of fraud allegedly perpetrated by Mmesoma Ejikeme, a UTME candidate from Anambra State who was accused of inflating her score manually from 249 to 362.
Prof. Oloyede told reporters that the Jamb result circulated by Ejikeme was the template for a student who sat for the UTME two years ago.
While reaffirming his stance that the circulated Jamb result was fake, the Registrar said the examination body was able to track the printed result copy displayed by Ejikeme from the portal.
According to him, “If you scan the code, the candidate’s result will show. So I can say emphatically that the girl is parading a fake result. It is either she is being duped, or she is part of a syndicate manufacturing purported JAMB results.
“There are security features on our results, so I can emphasise that the girl is just trying to deceive the public. Her result is completely fake. Her claim that she printed the result from our site is a lie, and totally incorrect. If we should reveal all that we know, people will be shocked. So if people are looking for shortcuts to achieve an end, that is what would happen.
“The result she is holding is completely fake because we are able to track everything printed from our system”, he said.
Mmesoma was accused of forging her 2021 UTME result by the board on Sunday evening. She has since denied the allegations levied against her by the examination body.
