The Principal of Moses Academy Secondary School is currently on the run after the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)’s Scorpion Squad cracked on them like “manners from Heaven” while taking Mathematics in the ongoing West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Mr. Kargbo, according our source, was lucky to maneuver quickly when the squad bumped in last Thursday but sustained injuries on his body.
He was said to have been tipped off by an Okada rider about the arrangement to raid the school so he dodged into thin air.
After the Proprietor and pupils were taken to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) by the no nonsense Scorpion Squad amidst confrontation by the pupils trying to stop the vehicle.
Mr. Kargbo went missing in action in the community as well.
“He has fled with his family”, our source confirmed, adding that he did not do his assignment well like he did during the previous exams that was why they were caught red handed in exams malpractice, our source concluded.
Mr. Kargbo has been castigated by some pupils as being responsible for what happened because he failed to alert them immediately he got the leak.
There are over 190 candidates taking this year`s WASSCE under the school with each student paying over a million Leones to the administration.
This is their second public exam conducted in the school but what beats the imagination of the public is how comes a school that is trying to gain momentum is getting embroiled in public exams malpractice in brood day light to the extent of hiring a student of Njala University to show candidates.
However, the suspects including six pupils and four staff were released on bail pending investigation as the confiscated items of the Proprietor, Ibrahim Turay, his official laptop and mobile phone have been returned to him by the ACC investigators.
It could be recalled that the squad successfully unearthed these exams malpractice cartel last week at Deep Eye Water in the Western Rural District, Constituency 111 as a demonstration of the Commission’s zero tolerance on corruption especially within the education sector.
The Scorpion Squad has been result oriented and consistent in catching those involved in exams malpractice; like they did to those teachers who were disgracefully paraded before Cotton Tree in broad day light.
