Examination Malpractice:

Five Students dismissed from ENAM
The students including three Cameroonians, one Chadian and one Central African Republican were reportedly caught colluding and/cheating during their promotion examinations.
By Rachel Ntube in Yaounde
Three Cameroonians, a Chadian and a Central African have been expelled from the School of Administration and Magistracy, ENAM Yaounde, after they were allegedly caught cheating during their promotion exams.
                However, the decision of the authorities of ENAM is not final, as it can be nullified, revised or maintained by the minister in charge of public service and administrative reforms.
                AbasMohamadou, son of Ngoundere-based multi-billionaire MohamadouAbbo; MahamatDahiyeAbdouraman, DjibbersouDa’AyeYoma (a Chadian), Vevet Raymond Fondzenyuy and TekiliZaket Paul Emery (a Central African) were dismissed after the disciplinary council of ENAM declared them guilty of various forms of examination malpractice. They have all denied the accusations.
                AbasAbbo for example, who was allegedly caught copying from his mobile phone, claimed that he only started manipulating his phone after he had finished writing. His excuse did no however hold water because mobile phones were disallowed in the exam hall. Abbo has however pleaded for pardon, it was reported.

                As for Fondzenyuy Raymond, the only Anglophone among the five alleged fraudsters, he gave the excuse that the “catouche” that was found on his table was not put there by him. But the discipline committee did not consider his excuse convincing enough.
                The other fraudsters who were allegedly caught copying pleaded not guilty but begged for pardon. But it remains a matter of conjecture if the MINFOPRA will heed the plea of the students and grant them pardon.
                What is however true for now is that the five students were not only disallowed from completing the exams, they have also been barred from entering the ENAM campus until perhaps a new decision pardons them.
