THE fate of 30 students who paid GH¢100 each to the proprietor of Top Progressive Institute at Adenta to register them for the November-December West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is still not known because of the proprietor’s alleged failure to register them for the examination.
The proprietor of the privately owned school, Mr Ibn Issah Mohammed, was picked up following reports made by the students to the Adenta Police.
He was given bail last week and is expected to reappear in court, the Adenta District Police Commander, DSP Yao Tettegah, has disclosed.
The District Commander said although the proprietor was able to register other students for the examination, he was not able to register the 30 but denied failing to register them when he was arrested.
He said although Mohammed claimed that he had registered the students with a consultant, when the police got to the consultant’s place they realised that the students had not been registered.
DSP Tettegah said although the consultant said he started with the first phase of the registration of the students, he had to stop because they failed to attach the expected amounts to their forms and pictures.
He said Mohammed was subsequently prepared for court and remanded. He was charged with defrauding by false pretence and had pleaded not guilty to the charge.
