Liberia: Teacher Booked for Selling WAEC Results

26 June 2012

Police have charged a 24-year-old school teacher Sunnie Antonio Marcar with fraud and theft of property for allegedly stealing and selling master copy of results of the 2012/2013 exams administered by the West African Examination Council to students and school authorities.

According to Police Spokesman George Bardue, suspected Marcar was investigated and charged by the Crime Services Department (CSD) of the Liberia National Police (LNP) and will be taken before the Monrovia City Magisterial Court today Tuesday, for prosecution.

Bardue said the charges brought against the 24-year-old suspect followed his arrest in Kakata, Margibi County and subsequent investigation by the LNP Crime Services Department at the National Police Headquarters on Capitol Hill in Monrovia.

He said suspect Marcar was arrested in Kakata in possession of the master copy of the just ended WAEC (West African Examination Council) Exam results, which were not officially released by the WAEC Liberia Office.

In a release issued in Monrovia Monday, Bardue said police preliminary investigation revealed that suspect Marcar was involved in the sale of the exam results to students and schools in Kakata.

The suspect was allegedly arrested with a Silver HP Laptop containing the master file of WAEC with the entire results of the 2012/2013.

    Its very unfortunate to know that so-called Liberian journalist will publish fascinating stories and create elegant headlines aimed at getting the public’s attention and funds rally. They rather prioritize sentiment than finding out the truth and getting the facts about gossips.

    The counterfeit story of WAEC fraud involving Sunnie Antonio Marcar was never delft into by any Liberian journalist even up to the dismissal of the case on the 24th of September, A.D 2012 for WAEC’s failure to proceed and produce pencil needle evidence. NONESENSE.

    Shame on you………. Some money grieved and unprofessional Liberian journalists.
