About 25 former candidates who sat for either the school or privates examinations conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) have returned their certificates.

The candidates, who are now born again Christians their certificate claiming it was acquired through fraudulent means.

According to Sun newspaper, the affected former candidates in obeying the Christian doctrine of seeking for restitution, approached WAEC, through letters and personal visits to the council, seeking for restitution after they had confessed how they acquired their certificates when they wrote the examinations at various periods.     

A senior staff of WAEC disclosed that the council wrote to the candidates explaining what they were expected to do which is to return the certificates in accordance with the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examinations.

Investigations revealed that those who complied with the directive returned their certificates to various WAEC offices nationwide, and the council took their cases to the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC), which met recently in Lagos and cancelled the returned 25 certificates.
