'I am sad about it because isn't my fault' - Mmesoma reacts to 3-years JAMB ban

Mmesoma Ejikeme, the embattled 19-year-old in the storm of controversy surrounding her results has reacted to the news report that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has imposed a three-year ban on her.

Recall that Ejikeme had been paraded as the top scorer of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination following viral reports that she scored 362 but JAMB refuted her claim, stressing that she got 249.

Her claims had generated divergent views and controversy across Nigeria.

However, the authentic result slip released by JAMB has Mmesoma’s portrait contrary to the result sheet she was parading.

JAMB said stressed that Mmesoma’s 362 UTME score was fake and revealed that her score was manually inflated, as her original score was 249. JAMB also announced the immediate withdrawal of Mmesoma’s UTME score.

Speaking for the first time following her ban, Mmesoma said the current controversy wasn't her fault.

She made this known in an exclusive interview on Channels TV.

"I am sad about it because this is not my fault. It is not my fault that I printed it and a different result came. It's not my fault. It is not fair," she said.
