A statement by the Resident Consultant (Media and Event), Folu Olamiti, said Obagboye Oluwole was arrested, following a tip off by members of the National Anti Corruption Volunteers Corps (NAVC) Akure Zone.
The commission said the volunteers had raised the alarm that some teachers of Tuuonbititi International School were conniving with some students to cheat in the examination.
The statement said: “The tip- off paid off when ICPC detectives stormed the school and caught the teacher, some students and other accomplices at the centre.
“The teacher and some others were arrested.
“The detectives, however, resolved to arrest the Principal, Olowojesiku Akin, for alleged examination malpractices.
“Those so far arrested are at the ICPC’s Ilesa Office where they are being interrogated.
“A student who was caught with incriminating papers; an answer sheet result, during interrogation indicted Obagboye whom he alleged distributed answer sheets to students .
“ Obagboye confessed that he hired a mercenary to write the examination for another candidate, who he said, was not present in the exam hall.
“The suspect is helping with investigation and is on administrative bail.”
