He is alleged to have taken money from the students but failed to register them to take part in the examination.

The police picked him up at the Northern School of Business (NOBISCO) Examination Centre after the students had heckled him.

Some of the affected students who spoke to the Daily Graphic said they paid registration fees ranging between GH¢500 and GH¢600 but they were denied entry to the examination hall.

The proprietor is also alleged to have asked the students to contribute GH¢2 each to buy a goat for sacrifice before the examination.
