Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma: Young Man Who Supported Girl’s UTME Score Takes Back His Words, Begs JAMB

• A Nigerian man who fully supported Ejike Mmesoma's claim against JAMB has eaten a humble pie and apologised
• The man said he had to apologise to JAMB for everything he had said because he noticed the girl's team was not straightforward

In an earlier tweet on Monday, July 3, he condemned the body for trying to downplay the girl's success, wondering how many people have been victims of the same situation.
