An examination at the University of Calabar was cancelled after a female student claimed she was compelled by the Holy Spirit to disclose that answers had been printed alongside the questions. According to student accounts, the error was noticed at the start of the exam, but candidates continued writing without alerting invigilators.
The disruption occurred about five minutes before the end of the exam when the student stood up to inform invigilators of the mistake. Verification confirmed that the answers were indeed included, prompting the immediate cancellation of the exam. Students were instructed to submit their scripts, and a fresh assessment will be scheduled.
The incident has ignited debates among students on academic integrity, personal conscience, and collective responsibility. University authorities have not yet commented on possible disciplinary actions or further investigations regarding the examiner or the error.
