…says Candidate Not the Only One Detected for Forgery
Oloyede made this disclosure in a transcript sent to our
correspondent from Windhoek, Namibia.
He said, “The truth is that JAMB has concluded the
investigation on Nmesoma’s score falsification matter. She was not the only one
caught, just that others have chosen not to go out”, Oloyede said.
“Presently, there is an industry faking results and
unfortunately they cannot penetrate JAMB system, reasons being that (our)
system is foolproofed and we will prove it any time. It is unfortunate that
parents and some of the candidates that are being fooled are not aware that
they are only being fooled.
“There is internal evidence to show that the change in
Ejikeme’s scores was done with her collaboration. There are certain features
pertaining to her that only her knows unless she makes it available to somebody
else. They couldn’t have increased her scores on her behalf.”
The Registrar said he had earlier spoken with a former
Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, on Nmesoma’s matter, and told her that
it was a high-level scam.
“We improved on our facilities this year, so Ejikeme and her
collaborators are still living in the past. I spoke with Mrs Ezekwesili on the
matter and I told her that it is a high-level scam and I told her that it was a
careless forgery.
“This is because we are no longer using some of the things
they used in changing those results since 2021. We used that pattern in 2021
and you saw what happened and many of such individuals were caught as well and
they were treated accordingly,” he stated.
