I will never say that Nmesoma Ejikeme, the young Igbo girl from Anambra state, who was celebrated recently to have scored the highest in JAMB was fake, as the JAMB wanted the general public to believe in its recent report.
Before making the fraudulent accusation public against Ejikeme, did JAMB invite the girl and perhaps, in the cause of query, it was discovered that she was untruthful with her 362 marks in lieu of 249 JAMB has publicized that she scored? I ask this because there have been cases of results, where what were printed out from computer, were not what were on the schools’ records.
This could be the fate of Ejikeme. JAMB refused to tell the general public how the girl supposedly inflated her result. Rather, the university examination body went berserk to despoil the image of the girl whom the populace are yet to hear from, but has joined JAMB in its jungle conclusion.
Before telling the public that the girl inflated her result, I had thought that the Nigerian constitution says the accused remains innocent till proven otherwise. So, which court’s order did JAMB operate with before its verdict that the lass was fraudulent with 362 position?
JAMB has many questions to answer: What method did the girl forge the result with? What court ordered its position in labeling the girl a fraud?
Did the girl print out her result from JAMB portal in computer or she noted of her result through JAMB office?
These answers will help the reading public to take a stand.
