WAEC ARRESTS 20 EXAM OFFICIALS FOR MALPRACTICE



20 school officials, allegedly aiding and abetting examination malpractice, have been arrested by the West African Examination Council (WAEC)  in its ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates.


The Council said that the arrests were made in various parts of the country.


The Head, National Office of the Council, Mr Patrick Areghan, disclosed this on the sidelines of a monitoring exercise he carried out in some schools on Thursday in Lagos.


“For instance, in Ibadan, Oyo, where we have our zonal office, which takes care of Osun, Kwara and Oyo itself, we made three arrests in a school and for the purpose of confidentiality, I will not mention the name”, he said.


“There, a supervisor at a centre, principal and invigilator were all arrested. They were arrested for allegedly snapping and posting the questions to some platforms, thereby, aiding and abetting examination malpractices.’


 “Then, in Maiduguri, a supervisor and principal of a school, were both arrested and handed over to the police too.


“In Umuahia, a teacher and a supervisor were arrested in a particular school and they have been handed over to the police.


“In Abeokuta, a school proprietor was the first to be caught at the beginning of this examination on May 8, snapping and posting question papers


Areghan stated that WAEC has since handed over all the culprits to the police for prosecution.
