The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has indicted two men on three counts of corruption offences linked to the marking of the May 2026 National Primary School Examination (NPSE).

The accused are Ibrahim Sorie Kamara, a teacher at Sierra Leone Muslim Brotherhood Primary School and an examiner for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), and Mohamed Musa Koroma, a student at Freetown Polytechnic, Jui Campus.

According to an ACC press release dated 8 October 2026, both men are separately charged with academic malpractice and jointly charged with conspiracy to commit a corruption offence under the Anti-Corruption Act of 2008, as amended in 2019.

The alleged offences occurred between 1 May and 31 July 2026 in Freetown and relate to the marking of English Paper II of the NPSE.

The ACC alleges that Kamara unlawfully transferred four envelopes containing examination scripts to Koroma, who was neither an appointed WAEC examiner nor an authorised custodian of the examination materials.

Further investigations allegedly found Koroma in possession of three red envelopes containing WAEC examination scripts in Waterloo. The Commission said he had allegedly represented to a woman that he could facilitate the rewriting or adjustment of candidates’ answers.

The ACC said it remains committed to protecting the integrity of public examinations and combating academic malpractice and other forms of corruption in Sierra Leone.
