He said,
“The truth is that JAMB has concluded its investigation on Mmesoma’s score falsification matter; she was not the only one caught, just that others have chosen not to go out.
“Presently, there is an industry faking results, and unfortunately, they cannot penetrate the JAMB system. The reason is that the system is foolproof and we will prove it at any time.
“It is unfortunate that parents and some of the candidates who are being fooled are not aware that they have only been fooled.”
The professor also disclosed that he earlier spoke with a former minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili, on Ejikeme’s matter and told her that it was a high-level scam.
