Legit.ng reported earlier that the JAMB registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, addressed the claims made by Ejikeme Mmesoma, a candidate who sat for the 2023 UTME.
Speaking on the controversy surrounding Mmesoma's result, Mr Oloyede said investigations by his agency revealed that the accused candidate “was either duped or she is a member of a high-level syndicate engaging in manufacturing fake UTME results.”
The JAMB registrar insisted that the document being displayed by Miss Mmesoma “belongs to another candidate who sat for the examination two years ago.”
