In a video statement, she firmly denies the claims made by the examination board.
Ejikeme said, "My name is Ejikeme Mmesoma. I’m the owner of this result. I went to the JAMB portal to print this result and this is the result they gave me. This is my aggregate, 362.
"They scan the QR code on my result and it showed a Yoruba name Omotola Afolabi who scored 138.
"The same Omotola scored 338 when it was rechecked and this evidence showed that there is a problem.
"This is exactly how I printed and downloaded it from their site. So saying that I forged my result is what I don’t know and I am traumatised that they accused me of forging my results because I’m not capable of forging my result,” she added.
The JAMB had issued a statement on Sunday evening, accusing Miss Ejikeme of manually altering her UTME score from 249 to 362.
"They scan the QR code on my result and it showed a Yoruba name Omotola Afolabi who scored 138.
"The same Omotola scored 338 when it was rechecked and this evidence showed that there is a problem.
"This is exactly how I printed and downloaded it from their site. So saying that I forged my result is what I don’t know and I am traumatised that they accused me of forging my results because I’m not capable of forging my result,” she added.
It was alleged that she used the inflated score to secure a N3 million scholarship from Innoson Motors, which was due to be awarded by the Anambra state government before the incident came to light, read here.
