Charly Boy Raises Doubts over JAMB’s Allegations on Forged UTME Result
Renowned Nigerian entertainer, Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding the alleged forged Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result of Mmesoma Ejikeme.
Previously, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had accused Ejikeme of presenting a falsified result, stating that her actual score was 249, contrary to the 362 she initially claimed.
However, in a video response, the teenager expressed shock and disbelief, stating that she obtained the result from the JAMB portal and it reflected her actual score.
Ejikeme presented evidence, explaining that she had downloaded the result from the JAMB website, and even scanned the QR code which displayed another person’s name and a different score.
This led her to believe that there was a problem or discrepancy within the JAMB system.
In response to this development, Charly Boy took to Twitter on Monday night to express his skepticism regarding JAMB’s allegations.
He called on the examination board to release Ejikeme’s examination papers to an external body for a reevaluation or remarking process.
The veteran entertainer expressed his lack of trust in the marks claimed to have been awarded by JAMB.
In his tweet, Charly Boy stated, “JAMB must produce her paper for an external body to remark.
I don’t trust the mark they claim they awarded her right now.
JAMB has ended up making the young girl popular, and on the other hand, the girl has exposed JAMB’s corruption and ineptitude, just like INEC.”
Charly Boy’s statement reflects his doubts about JAMB’s allegations and his call for an independent assessment of Ejikeme’s examination papers, highlighting concerns about potential corruption and inefficiency within the examination system.
