Embattled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidate, Mmesoma Ejike, has admitted to faking her results to a committee set up by the Anambra state government to investigate the case.

Mmesoma, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School in Nnewi, Anambra state, claimed she scored 362 in the 2023 UTME.

Although JAMB did not announce her as the overall best candidate, Mmesoma was widely celebrated.

Innocent Chukwuma, the Innoson founder, as a result, awarded the candidate a scholarship worth N3 million.

A report on the Anambra-constituted panel’s investigation has now concluded that Mmesoma faked the results.
