A 66-year-old retired
federal civil servant, Fredrick Omorieve and his wife, Evelyn Omorieve, both
residents of Asaba, Delta State, have been arrested by police detectives in the
state for allegedly writing WAEC examinations for their two children. LEADERSHIP Sunday
reliably gathered that the couple allegedly sat in an examination hall for one
of the WAEC examination subjects in one of the ‘miracle centres’ operating in
the state for their two children (male and female), before they were found and
arrested.
The
police, who were said to have acted on a tip-off, swooped on the couple in the examination
hall after which they were taken to the police station where their statements
were taken and they were later released on bail.
Leadership
report continues:
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 Asaba
after they were said to have jumped bail for alleged examination malpractice.
He
explained that the couple, who were arrested when the examination was ongoing,
were later released on bail but jumped bail and that they were rearrested
around Deeper Life Church Street, Anwai Road, Asaba, on Saturday, for the
offence of jumping bail and are presently helping the police with further
investigation.
LEADERSHIP
Sunday gathered from sources that the suspects succumbed to pressure to assist
two out of their six children with the examinations, after repeated failed
attempts, following which they registered for the examination in one of the
secondary schools in the state notorious for aiding examination malpractice,
popularly referred to as ‘miracle centre.’
Those close to the couple
said they decided to carry out the act after some of their friends and
neighbours had done same successfully.
