Principal flees with N1.2m WASSCE fees

A 42-year-old principal, Michael Diekola, was yesterday docked at an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly defrauding his school of N1.2 million. 

The accused, who lives at 8, Alirat Badejo Street, Oke Odo, Abule Egba, a suburb of Lagos, is being tried for fraud and stealing.
The prosecutor, Inspector Clifford Ogu, told the court that the offences were committed sometime in July 2014 at a private school, Queen Diana College, Oke Odo, Abule Egba. Ogu, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said the accused collected N1.2 million from students under the pretext of enrolling them for the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE). He said: “The accused bolted with the money and all efforts to locate him were unsuccessful until he was sighted by one of the teachers and was immediately apprehended.”
