Chidoka said the incident reflects “the general level of distrust in our national institutions,” The Cable reported.

He opined thus:

“I observed two significant red flags when I saw her result online.

“Mmesoma should come clean and explain how she got that result and who led her down that path. If she does that, I will lend my voice to beg JAMB to note her age and show more leniency. A child her age deserves a second chance after she shows remorse and demonstrates that she has learnt the value of integrity,” he wrote on his Twitter handle."
