This Online News Media reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had on Sunday accused the candidate of allegedly manipulating her UTME results and inflating the scores from 249 to 362.

But the candidate insisted that the 362 was the score she received both on the JAMB website and in the SMS sent to her by the board.

However, JAMB has restated its earlier position that the UTME result presented by Miss Mmesoma is “patently fake”, alleging that there was an infraction on the part of the candidate.

The examination body subsequently announced it would withdraw the candidate’s original UTME result and bar her from taking the test for three years.

But Miss Mmesoma, the candidate, in a viral video on Monday, insisted that the controversial score of 362 claimed by her was printed from the JAMB website, and the examination body’s accusation had left her traumatised.

JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday morning, said the candidate’s posture in the viral video showed that somebody was coaching and telling her what to say.
