A 66-year-old retired federal civil servant, Fredrick Omorieve and his wife, Evelyn Omorieve, have been arrested by the police in Asaba, Delta State, after they were caught sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination on behalf of two of their children. The couple was arrested by officers of the Delta State Police Command, who had been working on a tip-off over the Omorieves’ alleged involvement in examination malpractice.
They were sitting for an examination in one of the “miracle centres” operating in Edo State for their two children, (a male and female) when they were arrested by plain-clothes policemen working on a tipoff. After their arrest at the venue of the examination, PUNCH reports that police detectives reportedly took their statements under cautions and they were released on bail. The couple was, however, rearrested by the police on Saturday around the Deeper Life Church Street, Anwai Road, Asaba.
They were accused of jumping bail and are currently helping the police for further investigations. 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 Delta after they were alleged to have jumped bail after being arrested for alleged examination malpractice. Sources said the suspects had been under pressure to assist two of their six children sit the examination last week Thursday at one of the “miracle centres” in Benin-City, where police detectives arrested them. It was further gathered that the two children had sat for the sub-regional examination more than three times without passing despite series of lessons they attended before they were re-enrolled at the “miracle centre” in Benin.

tragic story of the decline in the quality of education where pensioneer's can write exams young people can not.sigh.Either way ,they must take responsibility for their actions.This shows a lack of character on their behalf.How far can they possibly push the kids without their own efforts?
