Anambra State government has distanced itself from claims by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), that the result of Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School (AGSS), Nnewi, is fake.

The Commissioner for Information, Mr Paul Nwosu, in a press release on Wednesday said investigation was still ongoing on what transpired about the result, when JAMB made a press release condemning the result as fake.

The commissioner said this was moreso, when it was the student and her school that came to the commissioner to report that she got 362, while JAMB was recognizing someone who scored 360 as the highest scorer.

Nwosu said the Anambra State commissioner for education called JAMB to intervene in the matter, but the board involved Department of States Services (DSS) to investigate the result. He said even before investigation started, JAMB made a release and disclaimed the student’s result.

The commissioner said a full investigation had been launched.
