He explained that WAEC’s regulations require the cancellation of a candidate’s entire results once the candidate is found with a mobile phone in an examination hall, regardless of whether the device was used.

The Council further cancelled the entire results of 861 candidates found in possession of mobile phones during the examinations.

Mr Kapi expressed concern that candidates continued to smuggle mobile phones into examination centres despite directives for thorough searches by supervisors and invigilators.
