Six invigilators in police custody for engaging in examination malpractices in the ongoing 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
They are among 10 suspects arrested so far.
According to the Head of Public Affairs at the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC), John Kapi, the invigilators were found with mobile phones containing pictures of the examination questions.
One supervisor who was also arrested had taken pictures of the questions and posted them on social media while a female suspect also implicated was caught attempting to distribute photocopied answers to candidates.
The rest included a student nurse and an administrator of a private school.
“These 10 culprits have been handed over to law enforcement agencies. Their actions are criminal under WAEC law, and the police will now work to prosecute them in court,” he disclosed in an interview with JoyNews.
Six hundred and three thousand, three hundred and twenty-eight candidates made up of 306,078 females and 297,250 males registered for the exams across the country.
The examination is expected to end on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
