Ganta, Nimba County – [June 10, 2025] – A significant case of alleged academic misconduct has emerged at the John Wesley Person High School in Ganta, Nimba County raising alarm and apprehension within the education and media communities.
The controversy revolves around Prince Y. Gbozuah, a prominent broadcaster with the Voice of Gompa Communication Network (106.5 FM).
Reports indicate that Mr. Gbozuah is accused of orchestrating an arrangement for someone else to take the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in his place.
The impersonator reportedly began taking the exams on May 15, 2025, under Mr. Gbozuah’s name, a situation that initially went unnoticed.
However, school officials grew suspicious due to inconsistencies observed during the examination period, prompting a full investigation by June 3, 2025.
The inquiry ultimately confirmed that the individual participating in the exams was not Prince Y. Gbozuah. The situation intensified on June 10, 2025, when Gbozuah appeared at the school to complete the final WASSCE paper.
His unexpected presence has raised critical questions: Why did he choose to come only on the last day? Was this an effort to conceal his involvement, or a reaction to the rising scandal?
The ethical ramifications of these allegations have disturbed many observers. As a journalista field founded on truth, responsibility, and public confidence, if Gbozuah’s alleged actions are validated, it could significantly undermine both the credibility of the media and the integrity of Liberia’s education system.
“The situation, if proven true, encompasses more than just an individual,” remarked an education official who requested anonymity. “It relates to the entirety of the process and the implications it carries for students and the broader public.”
Officials from John Wesley Person High School and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Liberia are anticipated to conduct a thorough investigation into this incident.
There are increasing demands for accountability not only for Gbozuah but also for any individuals or school staff who may have facilitated or overlooked the alleged wrongdoing.
The case could represent a turning point in Liberia’s battle against academic fraud, highlighting the urgent requirement for enhanced screening and oversight during national examinations.
