Two hundred and fifty-six people who sat for the West African Examination Council, WAEC, at various times and were involved in examination malpractices but escaped being caught, have returned their certificates.
This was made known by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, WAEC, Mr. Yusuf Ari. He added that the 256 cases were just the ones the examination body got between April and November 2013.
He said: “It is very common to get requests from such born-again Christians, who are usually from a particular Pentecostal church I won’t like to name. The individuals come to our office or write letters. Some of those who come even start crying. They say they cheated and they have decided to return their certificates because they are now born-again.”
