Joy Mmesoma Banned for Three Years by JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said it has placed a three years banned on the Anambra state candidate, Mmesoma Ejikeme who was accused of forging her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result from taking the board’s examinations.

The Board also still stand on the claim that the Anambra indigene forged her result with emphasis that the Board had concluded some high-level investigations before coming to the conclusion.
Fabian Benjamin, the spokesperson of JAMB, disclosed this in a statement released on Tuesday, 4th July, 2023.

He said, “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 Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, and in line with its established procedures, has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the next three years.

Benjamin again stressed emphasis on the Board’s earlier position that the UTME result being paraded by Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma was fake; saying the candidates’ account was an attempt to re-write the truth.

“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.
