when the teacher was questioned, she admitted to collecting the money but explained that the candidates decided to contribute the money to her for free.
However, WAEC officials believed that the money was meant to influence the invigilator to enable the candidates to indulge in examination malpractice.
In the second case, also in the Offinso Municipality, nine teachers and a headteacher were arrested at the Dwamena Akenten M/A JHS examination center after they were spotted desperately solving the objective part of the Social Studies paper in the morning.
The source further said at the Senate R/C Basic School center, Ransford Osei, an invigilator, was apprehended for allegedly taking shots of the Social Studies paper, which was being written in the morning, and sending the snapshots to a friend to solve for him.
