The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has relocated the centre for the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) at the Bright Senior High School (SHS).
This comes after the students of the school located at Kukurantumi launched attacks on WAEC officials who tightened security during the examination on Thursday.
The proprietor of the school, Bright Amponsah, was accused of being behind the attacks and has since been arrested for interrogation.
WAEC in a statement indicated it has now been relocated to the Ofori Panin Senior High School, where they will sit for the rest of the exam.
