The arrests took place in various examination centres across the country. The teachers, whose identities are being withheld pending further investigations, were reportedly caught engaging in various forms of malpractice, including leaking examination questions and providing unauthorised assistance to students during the exams. WAEC officials, acting on tips and surveillance reports, swooped in on the suspects during the examination period, leading to their immediate detention. The six arrested teachers were caught allegedly writing answers for candidates and committing other infractions. According to a WAEC spokesperson, John Kappi, the teachers were part of a syndicate that had been under surveillance for some time.
