    Missing money "swallowed by snake," says Nigerian official. A saleswoman working for Nigeria's exam board gave that excuse when auditors found $100,000 (£72,000) was missing from her accounts. The exam body JAMB has launched disciplinary proceedings. http://bbc.in/2EZ9DsW pic.twitter.com/c2GyBll5lI

        Is it about under whose watch? Then you might be surprised it's under GEJ! The audit was ordered under @MBuhari because of low income generated by the Board in previous years before @MBuhari

        This reminds me when there was a burglary at our school and some papers were burnt. It was said petty cash was also burned and even coins were burnt into ashes.
