Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested three persons including a Vice Principal for allegedly collecting money from students participating in the ongoing National Examination Council (NECO) exam at Government Day Secondary School, Ote in Eiye-Nkorin area of Kwara State.
The suspects are: the Vice Principal of the School, Issa Abdulrahman; a teacher, Usman Lanre Kayode; and an examination supervisor at the centre, Saka Isiaka.
The Commission said it received an intelligence report that the school management and supervisors of the centre were extorting money from students writing the exam in order to assist them, while the Principal separated students who could not contribute money from the rest.
Consequently, an operative of the Commission dressed as a passerby visited the school and made discoveries on the allegation. An iPad containing answers to all the questions was also recovered from the suspects.
Meanwhile, the anti-graft agency has said suspects would soon be charged to court.
