A senior official of the West African Examination Council (WAEC), Mr Joseph Agyemang, popularly known as Papa Bruno, tragically collapsed and died during a tense confrontation with parents over withheld WASSCE results at the WAEC office in Sekondi.

Reports indicate that the unfortunate incident occurred on the morning of Thursday, January 30, 2025, when a group of frustrated parents and students gathered at the WAEC office for an investigation into the withheld examination results.

The situation escalated when WAEC officials instructed affected students to enter a designated room one at a time without their parents, a directive that angered many guardians.
