Femi Opesusi, father of 19-year-old Timilehin Opesusi, who tragically died by suic!de after receiving her 2025 UTME result, has made an emotional appeal to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), urging the release of what he believes is his daughter’s “true” score.
In a heartfelt interview with Channels Television, Mr. Opesusi accused the examination body of concealing or tampering with his daughter’s result, which he insists did not reflect her actual performance.
Timilehin, who was living with her elder sister in Ikorodu, Lagos, was among more than 300,000 candidates affected by a nationwide technical error that disrupted the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) at multiple centres earlier this year. Despite scoring 190 in the 2024 UTME, her 2025 score was recorded as 146, a discrepancy that left her devastated.
“She kept saying, ‘Daddy, this is not my result,’” Mr. Opesusi recalled.
Despite his efforts to comfort her and assure her that the issue could be rectified, tragedy struck just hours later.
“They have never called me, they have never granted me an interview, they have never said anything to me. I don’t want to see them. What I want is the actual result of my daughter, that’s the only thing,” Mr. Opesusi said.
He made it clear that he is not seeking compensation or an apology, only the transparency he believes his late daughter deserves.
