The Ondo State Government has withheld the WASSCE results and testimonials of several graduating secondary school students after they allegedly engaged in misconduct during their sign-out celebrations.
According to the State Ministry of Education, 17 final-year students were sanctioned for unruly behaviour captured in a viral video, which showed them tearing their school uniforms, chanting inappropriate slogans, and engaging in acts deemed contrary to acceptable standards of discipline.
The affected students are from Oyemekun Grammar School, Aquinas Secondary School, and CAC Grammar School, all located in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
The government said the disciplinary measures were necessary to uphold discipline in public schools and serve as a deterrent against future acts of indiscipline among students.
