Nine officers including a school Principal, his vice and other senior teachers were compulsorily retired by the Lagos state government over examination malpractice, western Nigeria.
The crime (examination malpractice) was committed during the last May-June West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE).
Among the affected officers are Mr. S. O Amure, School Principal on GL 17, Mr. V. A Joseph- the Vice-Principal on GL 16, Mr K.E Ogunleye, the Mathematics teacher on GL 15, Mr. A. I Banjoko, the Examination supervisor on GL 12, Mrs. L. D Akinterinwa on GL 15, Mr. A. O Araba on GL 15, Mr. V. O Towoshe on GL 14, Mr. S.I Oladipupo and Assistant Examination Supervisor on GL 08.
The staffers of the State’s Senior Model College, Igbogbo, Ikorodu, were found guilty of helping and abetting the students to cheat during examination on Mathematics.
According to a statement by Lateef Ibirogba, the commissioner for information, all the officers were found guilty for offences ranging from negligence, failure to monitor the examination, directly assisting in solving questions, leaving the hall and classrooms where they were supposed to invigilate.
The statement said that a probe by West African Examination Council (WAEC) Officials show that the officers deliberately abandoned the examination hall during the examination in an attempt to give the students an opportunity to cheat.
The WAEC probe not only found on the students several incriminating evidence, but also presented recorded tape that confirmed the culpability of the officers.
Ibirogba noted that the decision would serve as deterrent to other officers in the State Civil Service, saying the government would not Condon any act of fraud in the system.
