No fewer than twenty 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 (HNO) of council, Mr Patrick Areghan, disclosed this on the sidelines of a monitoring exercise he carried out in some schools on Thursday in Lagos.
According to him, the WAEC has since handed over all the culprits to the police for prosecution.
Areghan vowed that the council would do everything possible to ensure that their prosecution was followed to logical conclusion.
