The father of Mmesoma Ejikeme, Mr Romanus Ejikeme has blamed his daughter for forging her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result.
Daily Report Nigeria reports that Mmesoma owned up to manipulating her UTME result during an investigation by an ad-hoc committee set up by Governor Charles Chukwuma of Anambra State.
Reacting to the Mmesoma’s acceptance of committing fraud, Mr. Romanus apologized to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and Nigerians.
In an interview with NTA, Mmesoma’s father denied knowledge of his daughters act, and pleaded for pardon for his daughter.

Romanus had earlier admitted he gave his daughter money for the examination but does not know where she registered.
He said, “My daughter did not open up to me on time; when I realised her mistake, I blamed her.
“I told her, Mmesoma, be careful; you know you are a star and will not dent your image.
“But I am still apologising to JAMB and Nigerians as a father to pardon her.”
