ICPC Boss Says 5years In Jail for Exam Malpractice Is Too Much

Below is what ICPC chairman, Ekpo Nta, said about the 5years jail term for exam malpractices:

“By the time you begin to check those arrested for exam malpractices, they are from community schools, where there is one maths teacher for the whole school; no science teacher. And then, you turn around to arrest a child who is a victim (of a highly corrupt country).

“If you prosecute such a child and jail them for five years, when you never gave them an opportunity, you will only make them toughened criminals when they are out. You didn’t give them a chance in the first instance, then, you jailed them in addition.”
