Romanus Ejikeme, father of the Anambra schoolgirl Mmesoma Ejikeme accused of manipulating her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, has said the family has no plan to sue the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
On Sunday, JAMB said Ms Ejikeme, who has been widely acclaimed as the highest scorer with a score of 362, falsified her result for monetary gain.
The board consequently withdrew her result and barred her from taking the UTME for three years.
Speaking with journalists who visited his house in Nnewi, Anambra State on Tuesday, Mr Ejikeme said the family had left everything to God.
He insisted that his daughter did not forge her results and that she was a hardworking and studious student who did not joke with her studies.
He said: “My daughter studies so hard that even when you ask her to go to bed late in the night, she will insist on reading more because she wants to study Medicine and Surgery.

“After all the stress, someone said her result was forged. I have no doubt about this matter. I’m sure my daughter did not forge the result and we are ready to go to any length to prove it.
“I only feel bad that after what my daughter has gone through reading for the exams, that she is being denied her legitimate score.
“Since this allegation of my daughter forging her JAMB result broke out, both my wife and my daughter have been feeling very sad. My daughter is traumatised.
“We want a diligent investigation into this matter.”
