School sues WAEC over seizure of students’ results

Justice Nathaniel Ayo-Emmanuel of the Federal High Court,  Ibadan, on Tuesday adjourned till  April 6  further hearing in the case of   seizure of  the May/June 2015 SSCE  results  of   Christ National Model College, Ido, Ibadan.
The judge adjourned the case in order to allow the West African Examination Council (WAEC) to appear in court.
Mrs Elizabeth Shittu, counsel to the plaintiff , had approached the court to order the examination body to release the 2015 May/June SSCE  results of 100 of its students.
According to Shittu, one of the  allegations  levelled against the secondary school by WAEC  was that the  100 students who sat for the examination  cheated
She said WAEC   also alleged that the school carried out substitution of some examination papers like Animal Husbandry and English Language  while the school  failed to explain  how the substitution was done.
But the plaintiff’s counsel  argued that  such substitution should not have  led to the cancellation of all the papers of the entire students of the school.
WAEC , however, had yet to appear in court to  respond to the plaintiff’s submission.
