It was gathered that the authorities of the Nnewi Anglican Diocese are embarrassed that a student of the school forged her 2023 UTME score.
The bishop is also said to be disappointed with the Anambra State government for not waiting for the outcome of the Department of State Services (DSS) investigation before they started celebrating another indigene of the state, Miss Nkechinyere Umeh, who scored 360.
A source said:
“So, the bishop of the diocesan has directed that the diocese should wade in and carry out a thorough investigation into the matter to find out what actually happened so as to clear the image of the Church.
“As a missionary school, the school management cannot condone any act of indiscipline both on the part of the school management and the students.”
