The Rivers State Ministry of Education says it has suspended the Principal of Community Secondary School, Borokiri, Port Harcourt over alleged West African Senior Secondary School (WASSCE) Examination fee racketeering.

Professor Mmom said he has also deployed another Principal to resume in the school immediately.

Professor Mmom also revealed that he has urged the DPO to detain the Principal for investigation.

Recall that some parents in a protest had stormed the school in the early hours of Wednesday, 17th of May, 2023 demanding to know the reason their children who registered for the exams were prevented from writing the exams.
