Parents of candidates whose results have been withheld by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) have secured a court order for the results to be released.

The students numbering 10,520 were asked by WAEC to respond to allegations that caused the withholding of their results.

Their parents, however, challenged the decision of WAEC at the high court arguing the same to be unreasonable.

According to the lawyer on the case, Martin Kpebu, WAEC could not justify the grounds for withholding the results.
