Ejikeme Mmesoma: Instead of prosecution you recommended psychological evaluation - Reno Omokri tackles Anambra state govt

Reno Omokri Reno Omokri

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has taken a swipe at the Anambra State Government for failing to prosecute Ejikeme Mmesoma after confessing to manipulating to her UTME results.

Earlier there was controversy over the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results of Ejikeme Mmesoma after she claimed she scored 362 and not 249.

This sparked a debate with many calling out the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to restore her results.

Meanwhile a panel set up to investigate the UTME result revealed that the Ejikeme has confessed to forging her results.

They also ordered a psychological evaluation for Mmesoma.

Reacting to the development, Reno Omokri disagreed with the punishment given to her by the state government.

In his concerns he questioned why Mmesoma was not prosecuted for her fraudulent act.

Taking to his Twitter page, he wrote;

"And to show the high tolerance for fraud by the Anambra State Government itself, their recommendations did not include the prosecution of Mmesoma Ejikeme for her fraudulent act. Instead of prosecution, they recommended that she undergo a psychological evaluation. Really?

If you tried what Mmesoma did in Lagos or the Southwest, you would be prosecuted, as the Lagos State Government did to Oni Ololade, a LASPOTECH, who was jailed by Lagos for fraud.

But in Anambra, you will get a psychological evaluation at the state's expense. Wow!

What did Scripture say?

"When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong."-Ecclesiastes 8:11.

This high tolerance for fraud and refusal by the state itself to punish it is why certain states in Nigeria have too many of their citizens in jail for drugs, romance scams, and fraudulent acts in a proportion that exceeds their ratio of the total Nigerian population.

Unfortunately, the rest of us are treated like criminals in foreign airports the minute we produce our green passports. It is us, the innocent victims, who need psychological evaluation, not criminals like Mmesoma, who give Nigeria such a bad reputation at home and abroad.
