The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has shut down the Adventist Day Senior High School examination centre in Kumasi after several mobile phones were confiscated from candidates.
Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi, told a press briefing on Friday, September 5, 2025, that the move was necessary to safeguard the integrity of the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
He explained that the affected candidates have been relocated to WAEC’s regional office in Kumasi, where they will continue their papers under stricter supervision.
This incident adds to a growing list of malpractice cases recorded during this year’s exams, with at least 14 teachers, students, and invigilators arrested nationwide.
WAEC has assured the public that results from all implicated centres will undergo thorough scrutiny before publication.
