An unidentified final-year student taking part in the ongoing West Africa Senior Secondary School Examination (WASSCE), has been bitten by a strange insect, leaving her lips swollen.

This was shared recently on X by a user named With Alvin, who stated, “This young lady almost lost her life just days to her WASCCE exams. She was bitten by a strange insect no where but on the mouth.”
