Romanus Ejikeme, the father of Mmesoma Ejikeme, the candidate accused of faking her JAMB result, has issued an apology to Nigerians and the board.
Mr. Ejikeme expressed his disappointment that his daughter had lied about her JAMB scores and acknowledged that she did not reveal the truth to him early enough. He mentioned that he had reprimanded Mmesoma when he discovered the truth and reminded her of the importance of maintaining her reputation.
Mr. Ejikeme, as a father, extended his apology to JAMB and Nigerians, urging them to forgive his daughter for her actions. Mmesoma had previously presented a forged UTME result, claiming to have obtained the highest score of 362. However, JAMB confirmed that her actual score was 249, invalidating her earlier claim.
