Owing to this, in the letter signed by the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, Soludo directed the handing over of Mmesoma to a Professor of Clinical Psychology.
Chuma-Udeh said: “The directive is in line with one of the recommendations of the Committee set up by Anambra State Government to investigate the matter, following the parading of the fake results which elicited interests and generated controversy and misgivings.”
Miss Ejikeme had claimed to have scored 362 against her authentic score of 249, prompting JAMB to issue a statement disclaiming the result.

Despite JAMB’s position, the 19-year-old went on social media to display the result, and had insisted that she never tampered with her result. This forced the Anambra State Government to set up a panel to probe the development.
But while appearing before the panel, Ejikeme, according to the panel’s report made available to journalists, had admitted falsifying the result without the knowledge and assistance of anybody.
In an eight-page report, the panel had said it discovered that the candidate changed her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result after she openly confessed to doing so.
According to the panel, Mmesoma admitted in the presence of her principal, and the Education Secretary that the narration by JAMB officials was the true description of what transpired.

It had also recommended that Mmesoma should undergo psychological counseling and therapy.
