He said Mmesoma scored 249 and not 362, as seen in the JAMB slip she carries.

According to him, the result was forged after the original score of 249 was released to her through SMS.

His words:

"Immediately this result was released, she checked her result, and sent a message to 55019. So the machine now sent her her result of 249, breaking it down to the various subjects. So she now doctored that result. You know that one is just a text message, it is easy for you to doctor. So she doctored the result, put the marks the way she wants and sent back to 55019, so the code also returned her original result again."
