According to JAMB, Romanus “is also in all the whole thing that is happening.”

Further insisting that the girl at the centre of attraction, Mmesoma, doctored her UTME result, Benjamin said going by all the facts before it, he wouldn’t mind swearing.
He said he can 'beat his chest' that the father is aware of Mmesoma's illicit steps to obtain a very high 2023 UTME result slip.
Benjamin said:
“I owe a duty to always tell people the truth. I can swear by anything that his (Romanus') daughter falsified, mutilated, manipulated the score.
“And if he allows this thing to go all the…before he begins to confess, his plea will not be listened to. He would have destroyed this girl completely.
“Whoever is advising him that ‘don’t worry, we will do this, we will give her scholarship’, and all, by the time all these things come out, the person will disown him. It will be himself against the world.
“It is better for him to own up now, ‘look, my daughter did this thing, it is not with my consent’. But from the way it is going now, we are beginning to see that he has a hand in it, he is also in all the whole thing that is happening.”
Benjamin concluded:
“We know what she (Mmesoma) did and how she did it. And by the time we bring it, even he (Romanus) himself, he will have nothing to say again.
“Now is his own opportunity to withdraw and say the truth.”
