Innoson calls for investigation into UTME candidate fraud

Innoson Group’s Head of Corporate Communications, Cornel Osigwe, has called authorities to investigate the allegations of result manipulation made against Mmesoma Ejikeme.

Earlier, NRTC gathered that Innoson awarded N3m scholarship to Mmesoma Ejikeme who was believed to have had the ‘highest UTME score’.

Osigwe, expressing his thoughts via his Twitter handle, stated that he believes there is more to the story and that a thorough investigation is necessary.

According to Osigwe, “That girl was one of the most brilliant in her school, according to the Principal, her parents couldn’t even afford to pay for her WEAC and NECO Exams. Of what advantage will it offer her to manipulate her JAMB score? Let the poor breathe pls.”

He also emphasized the importance of giving the accused a fair chance.

“The girl I met doesn’t have the brain and capacity to manipulate her result. There is more to this story. A proper investigation needs to be done. Abeg let the poor breath.”
