Romanus Ejikeme, the father of Mmesoma, candidate who allegedly forged the Joint Admission and Matriculation Examination, JAMB, result has pleaded with Nigerians and the board.
Ejikeme said his daughter deceived him and Nigerians over her JAMB scores.
Ejikeme, in an interview with the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, revealed that Mmesoma kept him in the dark over her JAMB result.
Ejikeme noted that he blamed her daughter when he eventually found out the truth.
He said: “My daughter did not open up to me on time; when I realised her mistake, I blamed her.
“I told her, Mmesoma, be careful; you know you are a star and will not dent your image.
“But I am still apologising to JAMB and Nigerians as a father to pardon her.”
The City Gazette recalls that Mmesoma had falsified her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, result, claiming to have scored the highest mark of 362.
However, JAMB denied the score, stating that she only recorded 249.
