Three more teachers at the Adjena Secondary Technical School in the Eastern Region have been arrested for allegedly helping students cheat in the ongoing West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (WASSCE).

This brings to six the number of people arrested in connection with the exam malpractice.

The arrests follow Joy News’ investigation which revealed how a syndicate is leaking examination papers and compromising the entire 2015 West Africa exams.

Public Relations Officer at the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service, Joseph Benefo Darkwa, says the suspects will be sent to court before Wednesday.

"We have in addition to the trio who were arrested, intelligence have led to the arrest of another three people," he told Joy FM.

"We are still investigating. After investigations, we will be able to tell which people are culpable.

"If we finish with our investigations, then they will be put before court today but if we are not through with our investigations then we will send them to court tomorrow.

"But we are hoping that we complete our investigations today," he assured.
