The Anambra student was accused of manually inflating her 2023 result from 246 to 362 which attracted wide acclaim with INNOSON Motors CEO gifting her N3m scholarship.
The revelation by JAMB that she inflated her result raised national uproar and the examination body went ahead to slam a 3-year ban on her. He has continued to deny any wrongdoing.
But during an interview Channels TV on Sunrise Daily programme this Wednesday morning monitored by Nationwide Reports, Mmesoma confirmed that she received an automated text message from JAMB indicating that her score was 246.
It would be recalled that JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, had on Tuesday, revealed that the candidate sent a series of messages to the board’s automated telecoms system, including the results showing an aggregate of 362.
Responding, Mmesoma said the only SMS she sent to JAMB was through its support system: “That’s the only SMS I sent there.”
Asked if she got any feedback, she said, “They didn’t reply. If they check their JAMB Support System, they would see that I sent a text message. They didn’t reply.”
On the claim that she used an Airtel line, Mmesoma replied: “Yes,” but she added it was “not through USSD code”.
“The one I checked through the USSD code is the one of 360 that I saw,” she explained further.
Responding to the claim that the feedback from JAMB showed her score as 249, she agreed.
“Yes,” she said. “After all was said and done, I now saw that I got 249. I sent them a text message there to know what really happened — the JAMB Support System. If they go to their system, they will see it there.”
