 Florida couple accuse fertility clinic of using stranger’s sperm for daughter’s embryo in IVF mix-up: ‘Betrayed’ A Florida couple has accused a fertility clinic of using another man’s sperm to create their daughter’s embryo — as their dream of being biological parents was upended when they learned of their child’s DNA. Joshua and Natalie Strong alleged that Brown Fertility clinic officials in Jacksonville, Fla., including Medical Director Dr. Samuel Brown and 10 other defendants, caused the mix-up that resulted in their 1-year-old daughter’s biological father being a stranger, according to a lawsuit obtained by The Post. “They trusted Brown Fertility, as well as its founder and owner, Samuel E. Brown, M.D., with the family they hoped to build. That trust was betrayed,” the couple said in the lawsuit filed in Duval County Circuit Court Thursday. “The Strongs are now raising a daughter whose paternity test confirms that another man, not Joshua, fathered her.” The married couple had ...

 WAEC threatens sanctions against schools, supervisors over ‘cooperation fees’, extortion of SSCE candidates


The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has warned school proprietors, principals, supervisors, and invigilators against extorting candidates sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).


Amos Dangut, head of the council’s national office in Nigeria, had said 1,959,636 candidates from 24,207 schools enrolled for the examination.


Dangut said 1,001,072 candidates, representing 51.08 percent of the total enrolment, are female, while 958,564 candidates, representing 48.92 percent, are male.


The 2026 WASSCE commenced on April 21 with practical papers and would conclude on June 19.


In a statement on Monday, Moyosola Adesina, WAEC’s head of public affairs, said the council has received reports of supervisors and some schools demanding money from candidates under various pretexts.


Adesina said the reported extortion includes charges for transportation of examination scripts, welfare packages, and unauthorised ‘cooperation’ fees.


She added that some schools were demanding payment for KAPEK calculators already provided free of charge by WAEC.


According to the WAEC spokesperson, the practices are illegal and unethical, noting that they threaten the integrity of the examination.


“The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has received alarming reports of supervisors and some schools extorting candidates under various pretexts, including transportation of scripts, welfare packages, and unauthorized ‘cooperation’ fees,” the statement reads.


Adesina said school proprietors, principals, supervisors, and invigilators should desist from collecting money from candidates or their parents on behalf of examination officials.


She also urged candidates and parents to immediately report any extortion attempt to the appropriate zonal coordinator or branch controller or through its designated email addresses.


The WAEC spokesperson further warned against the harassment or intimidation of candidates in any form.


She warned that schools and officials found violating the directives would face sanctions, including derecognition, blacklisting, prosecution, and referral to relevant authorities for disciplinary action.


She reiterated the council’s commitment to protecting the credibility of its examinations and safeguarding the future of Nigerian children.
