Govt sends Mmesoma on three-month psychotherapy over UTME score
The Anambra State Government says it has handed over 19-year-old MMESOMA EJIKEME, who forged her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result, to a psychotherapist for a three-month guidance and counselling
The state Commissioner for Education, NGOZI CHUMA-UDEH, who disclosed this at a press briefing in her office in Awka, said MMESOMA would undergo a therapy class for three months as recommended by the state panel, which probed the UTME forgery case.
MMESOMA, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi, recently made the headlines after the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board called her out for fraudulently manipulating her UTME score from 249 to 362, thereby falsely parading herself as UTME top scorer for 2023.
Before admitting the forgery, Mmesoma had engaged JAMB in accusation and counter-accusation, with the exam body slamming a three-year ban on her.
On Wednesday, she appeared before a panel of the House of Representatives in Abuja, where she tendered an apology to the exam body and pleaded for leniency.
While briefing journalists on Thursday, the Anambra State Commissioner for Education recalled that a panel set up by the state to investigate the matter recommended that the teenager should be made to undergo psychological counselling and therapy.
