2 BECE Candidates killed in motor crash en route to exam in Upper West

A Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates has died following a road crash in the Upper West Region.

The deceased, identified as Taufii Ibrahim, a pupil of Charia Roman Catholic Junior High School, was reportedly travelling by motorcycle (okada) from Charia to his examination centre in Wa when the incident occurred.

According to JoyNews’ Upper West Regional correspondent, Rafiq Salam, the candidate was on his way to join his colleagues to sit this year’s BECE when the motorcycle was involved in the crash on Sunday, April 3.

He was rushed to a nearby health facility but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Two pupils were said to have been on the motorcycle at the time of the accident. The second student sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment.

The incident has cast a pall over the examination process in the area, as candidates across the country continue to sit the BECE.
