A yet-to-be identified teacher at Gilgal Private School, Edo State, has allegedly absconded with the sum of N2 million meant for the registration of students for the forthcoming West African Examination Senior Secondary School Examinations (WASSCE).
It was learnt that the money was handed over to the teacher for safe keeping owing to the lack of commercial banks in Iguobazuwa, the headquarters of Ovia South-west Local Government Area where the school is located.
According to a report by Daily Post, an alarm was raised by one of the parents of the students that eventually led to the arrest of the proprietor of the school by police operatives of Iguobazuwa division.
