Adewunmi confirmed that the copy of the University of Cambridge school certificate tendered by Buhari on Tuesday, July 30, was what he certified.
The witness, who said he has been with WAEC for 30 years, confirmed that by the result, Buhari sat for eight subjects and scored five credits.
He gave details as English C5, History C3, Geography C6, Hausa C5, Health Science C6
The witness said a person with such certificate cannot be said not to have attended secondary school.
