Mmesoma Ejikeme, student of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi, Anambra State, who has been accused of forging her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, has said that she does not have the capacity to do so.
Recall that Mmesoma was widely celebrated last week for her 362 score, said to be the highest for 2023 UTME.
But in a statement, JAMB Spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, alleged that the result was forged.
Benjamin said the result would be withdrawn while the girl would be prosecuted.
But speaking on Monday, the student said she printed her result from JAMB portal, adding that she was not capable of forging her result.
Mmesoma said she had always been a brilliant pupil, securing first position since her primary school days.
She said she had been invited to the police station where her statement was taken, and she was told that investigation was on-going.
She said she felt traumatised by the incident, adding that, “there must be a problem somewhere”.
