JAMB Bans Nmesoma for 3 Years, Insists she forged her result. The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (Jamb) has barred Ejike Mmesoma for three years from taking UTME over an alleged forgery, insist that the JAMB portal has no issue.
In a statement on Tuesday, July 4th, the spokesman of JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, stated that Mmesoma forged her result because there are 17 security codes on the result sheet, which already proved her wrong. He added that Mmesoma will be banned from participating in the exam for three years and would also be charged to court.
Mmesoma had on Monday dismissed the board’s accusation that she forged her UTME result.
She also said that she scored 362 in the exam, not 249 as stated by JAMB.
Addressing the circulated controversy, JAMB insisted that the result “paraded by the student is patently fake”.

“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,” the statement reads.
“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.”

Consequently, the Board has been issuing actual UTME RESULT Slips (not notification of results ) since 2022, complete with the photograph of each candidate,” the board added.
“Similarly, the public is also invited to ponder on the fact that out of all the candidates that sat the 2023 UTME, only Ms. Ejikeme Mmesoma parades the obsolete ‘Notification of Result.’
“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 Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, and in line with its established procedures, has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the “Similarly, the public is also invited to ponder on the fact that out of all the candidates that sat the 2023 UTME, only Ms. Ejikeme Mmesoma parades the obsolete ‘Notification of Result.’
