Woman Recounts How Peter Obi Demoted Her Uncle Over WAEC Fee Theft

An X user shared that her uncle, then a secondary school principal, stole WAEC registration fees meant for SS3 students during Peter Obi’s governorship. The governor reportedly visited their home and asked if her uncle was sane. He was demoted to a primary three teacher, forced to take voluntary retirement, and the stolen funds were deducted from his pension. The following year, his children had to hawk on the streets after the pension deductions. The storyteller’s father, who worked under WAEC supervision in Nnewi, publicly distanced himself from his brother despite sharing a surname. The post highlights how zero tolerance for corruption under that administration extended to harsh penalties, even house demolitions in kidnapping cases.
