As the 2017 diet of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates held throughout Nigeria, some young men decided to set up a website through which they attracted candidates and made them pay for supposedly worked answers.

“At the commencement of the examination, the council observed that some individuals were operating criminally inclined ‘rouge’ websites, under different names, soliciting for candidates sitting the examination, to pay money into their bank accounts, in exchange for the provision of worked solutions/answers to questions of subjects being taken on any particular day as the examination was in progress,” the Nigeria Police Force said while parading the suspects.

The law enforcement agency said immediately the petition was received by WAEC, officers of the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit swung into action and after several weeks, arrested the suspects.
