Lagos School Scandal: Teachers Accused of Extorting Students for Exam Answers

Students at the Bab Fafunwa Millennium Senior Secondary School in Lagos State have accused teachers of extorting money by demanding N500 per subject for West African Examination Council (WAEC) exam answers, commonly known as 'expo.' The students reported that teachers provided the answers during exams and forced them to pay for the assistance. Some students who refused to pay were allegedly threatened, leading to disruptions during exams.

The Lagos State Government has been urged to investigate the situation, with efforts to reach the Ministry of Education for a response proving unsuccessful. Following the scandal, the school's principal, Osunrind Omotayo Abiodun, was arrested and arraigned, leading to the redeployment of a new principal, Mr.

Oluwatoto Oluwafemi. The school management has been accused of attempting to cover up the abuses.

Additionally, a math teacher, Egberongb Adegbenga Toheeb, was mentioned in audio recordings obtained by SaharaReport, where victims narrated their ordeals. The scandal highlights a serious issue of corruption and malpractice within the education system in Lagos State.
