A 23-year-old young man who claimed to be an undergraduate of the Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka has been arrested for impersonation.

The young man (names withheld) was caught at Erho Mixed Secondary School , Erho-Abraka by the State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Professor Patrick Muoboghare as he led other officials to monitor the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination for private candidates.

He was upon interrogation, confessed that he was commissioned to write the English Language paper “for one Miss Mbanugo Chidinma Precious who he claimed to be a victim of the Jos ethno-religious crisis”.

Professor Muoboghare said the war against examination malpractice was total and would be fought “until it is eliminated from the school system”. He warned those interested in perpetuating the act to steer clear from the examination centres in their own interest as the ministry would ensure that anyone caught would be dealt with decisively.
