My Principal, Educational Secretary of Anglican Girls Secondary School , Anglican , Diocese.So, we went there, we showed all these results to the Commissioner for Education, both this one and the SMS they sent to me and she snapped it and sent to the JAMB officials.

“The DSS ,they took us to their office and we made our statement there and they said they will contact us to know where the result came from. So, that’s what they said and instead of them to wait for the investigation ,they went and posted that I forged my result without confirming. So, am really really sad about it.
“Since my Nursery school I have been taking first. Am a brilliant girl. It’s not that am an illiterate person that would go and forge her result because am not intelligent to impress people. I have been taking first since my secondary school Even my common entrance, it was 300 and something,So, it did not start today”, Ejikeme said..
