2023 UTME Result: Mmesoma Appears Before Reps Panel, Begs JAMB

Mmesoma appeared before the Reps panel and begged JAMB for forgiveness over her forged 2023 UTME result.

Glamtush reports that Anambra State student, Mmesoma Ejikeme, who forged her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result, appeared on Wednesday before an ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives in Abuja.

This online newspaper understands that the teenager, who had admitted to manipulating her score from 249 to 362, thus parading herself as the 2023 UTME top scorer, tendered an apology to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for her misdeed.

Before admitting the forgery, Mmesoma had engaged JAMB in accusation and counter-accusation, with the exam body slamming a three-year ban on her.

As the debate got heated, the House of Representatives waded in, calling for a stay of action on the imposed sanction.

However, Mmesoma would later own up to forging her result during a probe by the Commission of Inquiry set up by the Anambra State Government to look into the case.

On Wednesday she appeared before the House of Representatives ad hoc committee set up to look into the case.

The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, also appeared, accompanied by top officials of the exam body.

At the hearing, Mmesoma pleaded for leniency, urging JAMB to lift the imposed three-year ban.
