The Board claimed it made some discoveries regarding Okeke, saying he was admitted 2021 to study Medicine a year ago in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka , UNN.
JAMB questioned why a student in his penultimate year of medical studies would suddenly attempt to switch identity and course to Mechanical Engineering in 2025, suggesting manipulation of personal records.
The Board explained that all candidate identities during registration are authenticated using the National Identification Number (NIN), and it does not alter any candidate-provided data.
the examination body said that evidence indicates that Okeke altered his previously submitted records in 2021 before registering for the 2025 examination—an action acknowledged even by his own supporters.
According to the education technology expert, Onyia, revealed that discrepancies in Okeke’s data originated from a 2021 issue, when incorrect details were migrated from the National Identification Number, NIN, platform into JAMB’s database.
As of now, the university where Okeke is enrolled(University of Nigeria, Nsukka) has not issued any contrary statement.
