Soireenews.com has gathered that headmaster of Bright Senior High School at Kukurantumi,a private school at Kukurantumi in the Abuakwa North Municipality in the Eastern Region, has been arrested by the police from the Eastern Regional command.

Students of Bright SHS went on the rampage yesterday and beat an external invigilator in the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), Mr David Nii Djan Mensah, and a reporter with the Daily Graphic, Mr Emmanuel Pacome Damalie.

The students got infuriated after the external invigilator resisted their attempts to engage in malpractices.

The headmaster of the school, Bright Amponsah, has been accused of inciting students to agitate over strict invigilation.

Per reports from Graphiconline,  the external invigilator giving account of what happened said from the very day of the start of the examination the proprietor of the school had wanted to compromise him but he refused his gesture and that the situation got worse in the course of the Social Studies paper.

He said the students of the school would now write the rest of their examination at the Ofori Panin SHS, also in Kukurantumi.

He said the school had notoriously engaged in examination malpractices over the years and the West Africa Examinations Council (WAEC) therefore was very alert this time around, and engaged external invigilators who were strictly adhering to examination standards.
