Edwin Bryant Academy informing him that WAEC-Liberia will use his school's facility as one of the centers for the conduct of the exams and that will give he  the principal and his school the advantage but following the public information, the principal hastily called WAEC-Liberia Head Office and he then called  Kelvin to come at his office to collect his money and it was at that point the G. Edwin Bryant Academy Head called the police and have Kelvin arrested at the Kesselly Boulevard area.

 

Following police investigation, Kelvin was charged for impersonation and theft of property and is currently behind bars.

According to latest investigation, Kelvin continuing his usual dubious act prior to his arrest took to the social media with photos of Nimba County Jersey and banner soliciting money on behalf of the county to support the team and players respectively. 

 

" Your Support is needed for our team,"  his post added.
