Ejikeme Mmesoma duped or part of syndicate manufacturing fake UTME result – JAMB Registrar

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Is-haq Oloyede, has responded to the claims made by Ejikeme Mmesoma, a candidate who recently sat for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Addressing the controversy surrounding Mmesoma’s result, Mr Oloyede stated that investigations conducted by JAMB revealed that the accused candidate “was either duped or she is a member of a high-level syndicate engaged in manufacturing fake UTME results.”

During an interview with Premium Times on Monday evening, July 3rd, the JAMB registrar stood firm in his position and emphasized that the document being presented by Miss Mmesoma “belongs to another candidate who took the examination two years ago.”

Explaining further, Oloyede highlighted a critical point of distinction.

He said;

“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, 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.“
