Investigate Mmesoma Ejikeme’s Score Before Lawsuit – Innoson Slams JAMB

Innoson Group has reacted to allegations of certificate forgery against Mmesoma Ejikeme.

JAMB accused her of forging her result as the top scorer of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

Reacting, Mr Cornel Osigwe, the Head of Corporate Communications, Innoson Group asked JAMB to conduct an investigation.

In a tweet, he wrote, “The girl I met doesn’t have the brain and capacity to manipulate her result. There is more to this story. A proper investigation needs to be done. Abeg let the poor breath.

“That girl was one of the most brilliant in her school, according to the Principal, her parents couldn’t even afford to pay for her WAEC and NECO Exams. Of what advantage will it offer her to manipulate her JAMB score? Let the poor breathe pls.”

This comes after Ejikeme was chided by Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for parading herself as the top scorer.

In a statement released on Sunday evening, the board noted that Ejikeme manually inflated her UTME result from 249 to 362 and used her inflated score to attract an N3m scholarship from Innoson Motors, and was set to be awarded by the Anambra State Government before she was exposed.

“The most pathetic of them all is the case of Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME and was awarded an N3m scholarship by Chief (Dr.) Innocent Chukwuma. She was even set to be honoured by the Anambra State Government when one of its top officials put a call through to JAMB to confirm her claim only for the Board to reveal that Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma had scored 249 and not 362 she claimed. She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain a scholarship and other recognitions,” a statement by JAMB said.

Ejikeme will be prosecuted and have her original result withdrawn by the board, JAMB said.
