“I received a JAMB SMS message informing me that my score was 249”-Mmesoma

Mmesoma Ejikeme, a student from Anambra who was charged on Wednesday by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board with artificially inflating her 2023 UTME score, stated that she received an automated text message from JAMB stating that her score was 249.

During an interview with Sunrise Daily on Channels Television, Mmesoma disclosed this.

The candidate transmitted a number of signals to the board’s automated telecoms system, including the results showing an aggregate of 362, according to earlier information from JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin.

In response, Mmesoma stated: “That’s the only SMS I sent there.” She added that she exclusively spoke with JAMB via its support system.

Asked if she got any feedback, she said, “They didn’t reply. If they check their JAMB Support System, they would see that I sent a text message. They didn’t reply.”

On the claim that she used an Airtel line, Mmesoma replied: “Yes,” but she added it was “not through USSD code”.

“The one I checked through the USSD code is the one of 360 that I saw,” she explained further

Responding to the claim that the feedback from JAMB showed her score as 249, she agreed.

“Yes,” she said. “After all was said and done, I now saw that I got 249. I sent them a text message there to know what really happened — the JAMB Support System. If they go to their system, they will see it there.”

The PUNCH reports that the embattled 19-year-old Anambra student has been in the news following allegations of UTME score forgery.
