According to Leadership, four websites, yesterday, April 18, offered answers to examination papers on Christian Religious Studies, Islamic Religious Studies and Chemistry. These were being viewed a few hours before the examination started.

These online portals gave students information on how to view these answers, giving them the option of either receiving the answers as text messages or passwords to specific areas of their websites where full answers are obtained.

Leadership revealed that only part of the answers were provided.

One of such website is also advertising for students to come and get answers to Mathematics questions (a paper which will be written on Thursday, April 21.)


The site said: “Special package! Maths Runs. Subscribe for maths early to get registered early. Good News: tell you friends that www.codedclass.com have (sic) mathematics answers and will be posted sent by 11-12am Wednesday midnight. Mathematics questions are now ready!

“Ensure you subscribe to get it before time. Direct=N1,000 MTN card; Password=N500 MTN card. Forward the card, your name, your subject to 090xxxxxxx. Transfer is allowed. Please don’t call just; send your details because the number might be switched off/divert due to too much calls.”

A leadership correspondent posed as a student needing answers. He was told that answers via SMS would cost N800 while a password which would require logging on to the website would cost N500.

It as also revealed that another website offered its own answers via SMS for N600 and N500 for password

Meanwhile, the Lagos State police command has said it will beam its searchlight on the social medium school portal called www.solutionclass.com. This portal reportedly provided answers to students sitting for WAEC and JAMB (university entrance) examinations two hours before the examination commences, at a fee.

The Lagos State police public relations officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, while promising that the police will look into this, said, "we are going to beam our searchlight on it. If we find anything incriminating, we’ll commence investigation. For now, it seems like an observation. I don’t think it is real. You know, some Nigerians are gullible, but when we beam our searchlight on it, we will know whether it is real or not."

Other websites advertising answers include morebaze.com, humbleloaded.com.ng and coadedclass.com

The public affairs officer of WAEC, Mr. Demianus  Ojijeogu, said, “We are  still investigating the matter. We don’t have the staff strength that can follow all the supervisors from our custodial centres to the exam halls. We have put in place measures to forestall leakage of our exam papers.”
