NewsOnline reports that the West African Examination Council (WAEC) said it has identified 56 rogue website operators that leaked its West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (WASSCE).
The Head of National Office, Nigeria (HNO) Mr Patrick Areghan, disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja while monitoring the examination in some Government Secondary Schools. Areghan said that the identified rogue website operators would be prosecuted by the police in due course.
According to him, some dubious supervisors are responsible for some of these malpractices during examinations. While noting that the Council has no control over social media, he said some people are also in the business of posting questions on social media and asking candidates to subscribe on their websites and then they give them fake questions
Explaining how questions get leaked, Areghan blamed some WAEC supervisors for the act. According to him:
The WAEC head said that the council had put in place technology to detect any form of maleficence from any location. As a result, he said the Council had arrested some persons across states during the ongoing examination.
He, therefore appealed to candidates, teachers, and parents to maintain the ethics of examination to have a good and sound educational system saying that all hands must be on deck to fight the monsters called examination malpractices.
A total of 1,621,895 candidates are currently sitting for the examinations across the country in over 21,000 secondary schools.
