Teacher Paraded Before Court For Aiding Female Student To Write WAEC Exam

A 40-year-old teacher, Charles Adetunji, on Thursday, October 10, appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly aiding a student to write her West Africa Senior School Certificate Examinations (WAEC).

Adetunji, who resides at No. 7, Oyewole Street, Abule Egba, Lagos, is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and examination malpractice to which he pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, ASP Benson Emuerhi, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on September 16 at Meiran Community Junior High School, Meiran, Lagos.

Emuerhi said that the defendant assisted a female student to solve all the questions on Literature in English during the examination by sending the answers to her mobile phone.

“The examiner caught the girl using her phone. When it was checked, the answers to the questions were there. When she was asked, she said the defendant sent them to her,” he said.

Emuerhi said the offences contravened Sections 324 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Olufunke Sule-Amzat, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.
