The suspect, Olaide, was said to be inside a classroom while the students were in the exams hall; she and other teachers were busy solving the questions and sending the answers to the them.
While the dastardly act was going on, she was caught and handed over to the Police. She was was transferred to SCID, Yaba, for interrogation over the conduct. The Police however, did not disclose if the school management was part of the arrangement or not.

The Police alleged Olaide to have conspired with others now at large to aid cheating in examination by solving the exams questions for the students so that they will pass.
