According to the tweet, which said, “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 breathe.”
Another of his tweets read, “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, please.”
JAMB released a statement through the board’s spokesperson, Mr. Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday evening, which stated that Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma manually manipulated her UTME result from 249 to 362 and further used her manipulated result to get a scholarship from Innoson Motors worth N3 million naira and other recognitions.
