Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the spokesperson for JAMB, in a statement on Sunday, July 2, disclosed that many of the results that many candidates paraded are fake and some of the candidates got far lower than what they actually claimed they got and are used to the software manipulation.
The statement reads in part:
“The most pathetic of them all is the case of Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME and was awarded a N3m scholarship by Chief (Dr.) Innocent Chukwuma. She was about to be honoured by the Anambra State Government when JAMB was called to confirm her claim, only for the Board to reveal that Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, had actually scored 249 and not 362 she claimed."
