The incident unfolded when Miss Mmesoma Ejike visited the office of Anambra State Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, armed with her UTME result.

She claimed that JAMB had failed to acknowledge her as the candidate with the highest score. Concerned about these allegations, the commissioner contacted JAMB to verify Mmesoma’s claim, only to be informed that her result was allegedly forged.
