66 Year Old Pensioner And Wife Caught Taking WAEC Exam For Their Kids

Police in Asaba, Delta State have arrested a 66-year-old retired federal civil servant, Fredrick Omorieve and his wife, Evelyn Omorieve for allegedly sitting the West African Senior School Certificate Examination for two of their children.

It was learnt that the couple were sitting for an examination in one of the “miracle centers” operating in Edo State for their two children, (a male and female) when they were arrested by policemen working on a tip-off.

The couple who were arrested and released on bail after detectives reportedly took their statements under caution, were however, rearrested by the police on Saturday. Confirming their arrest, the Police Commissioner in the state, Alkali Baba Usman, said their case file was transferred from the Edo State Police Command to Delta after they were alleged to have jumped bail after being arrested for alleged examination malpractice. 

The two children, it was gathered, had sat for WASSCE more than three times without passing despite series of lessons they attended before they were re-enrolled at the “miracle centre” in Benin.
