19-year old, Mmesoma Ejikeme, accused by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of forging her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has apologised for her action.
She tendered her apology in a letter read before the House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the alleged manipulation of UTME results by Miss Ejikeme Mmesom, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Ejikeme, in her apology, requested that the board temper justice with mercy and reverse the three years ban imposed on her by JAMB.
“I feel a debt of pain for letting you down,” she said.
Recall that two weeks ago the House moved in support of a motion to investigate the said alleged manipulation of UTME results by Mmesoma.
Present at the Investigative hearing is the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, and it management.
In May, Mmesoma, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School in Nnewi, Anambra state, gained popularity after she was purported to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME.
JAMB later contradicted Mmesoma’s claims, saying she scored 249, not 362.
The exam body said she faked the results to mislead the public, so a panel was tasked with probing the matter.
