John Ahiale, the 36-year-old proprietor and Headmaster of a Junior High School (JHS), who was arrested at Akwatia while sitting this year's Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), was on
Friday arraigned before the Asamankese Circuit Court.
He was charged with possession forged documents, but pleaded not guilty and was granted GH¢1,000 bail with one surety to re-appear on June 7, 2010.
Police Inspector D.T. Nartey prosecuting told the court that the complainants were officials of the West African Examination Council (WAEC)
and the accused was the proprietor of Wawali Preparatory JHS at Akyem Topreman near Akwatia.
Ahiale registered as a candidate for this year's BECE and on April 19 when the Social Studies paper I was underway, complainants saw him in the
midst of the students taking the examination.
They became suspicious and when he was questioned it was realized that the accused forged the statement of entries and continuous assessment forms, which enabled WAEC to register him as a candidate.
He was therefore arrested and charged with the offence after investigations.
