Exam cancelled at University of Calabar after student says Holy Spirit prompted her to confess leaked answers
An examination in the Department of Accounting at the University of Calabar was abruptly cancelled after an examiner allegedly distributed question papers that contained both the questions and the correct answers to students.
According to accounts circulating among students, the mistake occurred at the start of the examination when candidates realised that the answers were included on the same sheet as the questions.
Exam disrupted by unexpected confession
Despite noticing the error early, the students reportedly remained silent and proceeded to write the examination without raising any alarm.
The situation reportedly took an unexpected turn about five minutes before the end of the exam when a female student stood up to alert the invigilators about the error.
Witnesses said the student explained that she could no longer keep quiet about the situation and felt compelled to speak up.
Following the disclosure, the examination hall descended into confusion as invigilators verified the claim and confirmed that the answers had indeed been provided alongside the questions. The examiner was immediately informed, and the examination was subsequently cancelled.
Department orders cancellation and fresh assessment
Students were instructed to stop writing and submit their scripts, while departmental officials announced that a new date would be fixed for a fresh examination.
The incident has since sparked widespread debate among students on academic integrity, personal conscience, and collective responsibility within examination settings.
As of the time of reporting, the university authorities had not issued an official statement on whether disciplinary action would be taken against the examiner or if further investigations would be conducted into the circumstances surrounding the error.
