Temper justice with mercy, Mmesoma begs JAMB [VIDEO]

Mmesoma Ejikeme, the candidate at the heart of a Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results forgery debacle, has written to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board asking for leniency.

The 19-year-old on Wednesday read a letter of apology before the House of Representatives ad hoc committee on the manipulation in Abuja.

Mmesoma had claimed a score of 362 as opposed to her official score of 249, according to JAMB.

In one viral video, she brandished the result which she said had been downloaded from the official JAMB portal.

The Board however presented evidence indicating that Mmesoma had requested her result via its automated SMS-based service, which repeatedly responded to her requests with the 249 score.

Mmesoma told the lower chamber that said she had admitted what she did was wrong, adding that it was the reason she came to present her ‘Letter of Profound Apology’.
