A self-styled lawyer, Jonathan Morgan Danagogo, has been arrested by the police in Rivers State for parading himself as an exam malpractice prosecutor and a worker of the West African Examination Council (WAEC).
The suspect, 30, was arrested at Zion International High School, Port Harcourt, during the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
It was gathered that Danagogo appeared at the exam centre and presented himself as a WAEC official.
The Deputy Registrar/Zonal Coordinator of WAEC in Port Harcourt, Patrick Areghan, said the suspect was “an impostor”, adding that WAEC had no such name on its payroll.
Areghan said the suspect’s arrest was a welcome development, as it would serve as deterrent to others.
He warned head teachers and proprietors to desist from act capable of jeopardising their jobs.
“We have about 570 schools writing the exams now.
“So, in the course of going round some schools, our staffs came across one man who has named himself Barrister Jonathan Morgan Danagogo as Prosecutor for Exam Malpractice.
“But it would interest you to know that we don’t have such a position in WAEC.
He is a fake. He is neither from us, nor representing the interest of the council.”
The Divisional Police Officer of Rumukpakani Abdulkarin Nuhu, said Danagogo has ‘confessed’ to the crime.
He said the suspect has no university education.
