 The House of Representatives is calling on stay-of-action on the embattled alleged jam cheat, Mesoma Ejikeme, at the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Tuesday. The decision was reached on Wednesday when the motion came up for hearing during plenary. Plus TV Emmanuel Ehidjene filed in this report as presented from our studios. The media recently has been awashed with news of an acclaimed 17-year-old Mesoma Ejikeme Joy from Anambra State, who was accused of allegedly falsifying adjoint admission and matriculation board results conducted early this year. Recall that Jambe handed a three-year ban on Mesoma, but this further drew mixed reactions from the general public, a move that forced the House of Representatives to intervene. While moving the motion at plenary, Honorable Awaji Inombek Abianti said there was need to tread cautiously on the matter so as to allow justice to prevail for all parties involved in the controversy. I have watched painfully so, sir, someone from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board ascribing to itself the powers to accuse, the powers to investigate, and the powers to even prefer punishments without giving opportunities for fair hearing. But, as a speaker, I have only come because I know that the person in question does not have the opportunity to sit here with us to be heard. We may also not have the opportunity to convoke press conferences like Jambe is trying to do. Mr. Speaker, this is the parliament of the people. It is our responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves, especially so that this person in question is a minor. Contributing to the motion, federal lawmakers called for an independent investigation since Jambe cannot be a judge in its own case, especially as it concerns Jambe's announcement on unilaterally imposing a three-year ban on Ms. Omar. Jambe's approach has failed the test of institutional procedure. Jambe has alleged a very serious criminal offense of forgery. Forgery is a felony. And then Jambe, at the same time, just like somebody stated, is also investigating this allegation of forgery without when there is supposed to be a presumption of innocence. Jambe has also gone ahead to even punish the girl. I mean, come on, something is definitely wrong with that process. Some criminals created an app and I will share it with my colleagues so that they will find out this girl was manipulated by some adults, some individuals in order to take advantage of her talent to cash on the privileges that comes with the highest score in jam examination. I believe this girl is innocent. With respect to this case, we must presume innocence on the part of the girls. At the same time, we must presume or assume that Jambe has acted, or she went to the law establishing them, giving to them by the act of this parliament, an act of this parliament, gave them those powers. We must presume that too. And then the other committee will look into all the facts and then come up with a solution of which a decision that the parliament will take. And this decision will take care of what Honourable Sada Solis said. The motion was adopted by a majority voice vote by members when put to vote by the presiding deputy speaker Honourable Benjamin Kalu who immediately set up an adult committee to investigate the allegation and report back in one week for further legislative action.
