Mmesoma Ejikeme, the candidate accused of forging her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, has said banning her from writing the three-year examination is "unfair".
The Anambra-born girl said her results notification slip for the UTME exam showed that she scored 362 out of 400 and was printed from the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) portal, Channels TV reported.

But JAMB, in multiple reports, claimed that Ejikeme was parading a forged result on a template that the board had stopped using in 2021.
According to JAMB, Ejikeme's official score is 249.

On Tuesday, July 5, JAMB insisted that Ejikeme's result is “patently fake”, adding that her official result has been withdrawn and she has been barred from writing the examination for the next three years.
On Wednesday, July 5, Mmesoma Ejikeme, alongside her father, appeared on Channels Television and maintained that she should not be faulted for the controversy the result has generated so far.
