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.
