Dr Fabian Benjamin, Acting Director Public Affairs Department of JAMB stated on Tuesday morning, sticking to its earlier position that the UTME result being paraded by Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma is patently fake.
“In the meantime, the management of the Board, after considering the weighty infraction committed by Ms Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, and in line with its established procedures, has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the next three years,” the statement noted.
He said 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.
