The father of Mmesoma Ejikeme, the 2023 UTME candidate whose results were tampered with, Mr. Romanus Ejikeme, has offered an unequivocal apologies to JAMB and Nigerians.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the candidate had been revealed by the eight-member panel Charles Soludo, the governor of Anambra, had assembled to look into the concerns surrounding the results.
Mmesoma was prohibited from sitting the JAMB exam for the following three years.
Romanus acknowledged that he had no idea where his daughter had enrolled for the test, but he still gave her the money.
Mmesoma’s father had insisted that her daughter did not forge her results saying that she was a hardworking and studious student who did not joke with her studies.
“But I gave her the money for the registration, and I can vouch for her that she cannot forge any result,” Ejikeme had said then.
Backtracking, Mmesoma’s father said: “As I said earlier, my daughter didn’t open up to me on time, she didn’t. Then I realised the mistake she did, I warned and pleaded her not to dent her image.
“I’m still apologising to Nigerians and JAMB to pardon her”.
