Ejikeme Mmesoma Ejikeme Mmesoma

Journalist and Arise Television co-host, Rufai Oseni, has taken to social media to condemn the actions of Ejikeme Mmesoma after she confessed to manipulating her JAMB results.

Recall that for over a week, the entire country has been debating the UTME result forgery.

This began after Mmesoma took to social media to reveal that she scored 362 and not 249 as claimed by JAMB.

JAMB on their part placed a 3 year ban on Ejikeme Mmesoma for her claim. Mmesoma has described the punishment as unfair.

Several notable Nigerians took to her defense and called out JAMB, asking them to restore her results. While some also awarded her scholarships and other gifts.

As a result of the controversy, Anambra Governor, Charles Soludo, set up a panel to investigate the matter, and it was revealed that the result was forged after Ejikeme Mmesoma confessed to manipulating the UTME results herself with her phone.

Disappointed Rufai Oseni took to social media to expressed his disgust at her action and called for the scholarships and other pecks to be taken away from her.

He tweeted;

"Also the scholarship given to joy worth 3M and other pecks she got should be withdrawn. We can’t build a society on lies!"

"Also Joy’s father the came out to defend her must re-evaluate his actions. Also, people that turned this episode into a tribal slugfest must have a re-think. Let’s build a decent society together.

"It’s sad we have build our society on lies. God knows how many results are forged daily by our Public office holders. The truth is bitter! This case is a reminder for us all to do right.

"In her case calling a spade a spade, JAMB has been Vindicated!

"Also the scholarship given to joy worth 3M and other pecks she got should be withdrawn. We can’t build a society on lies!

"As I have hitherto stated, We must also have a forensic evaluation of the entire process of our Exams by Independent bodies to guard against debacles like this."
