Liberation War affairs ministry spokesperson Sufi Abdullahhil Maruf told bdnews24.com that the decision was taken at a meeting of the Freedom Fighters Command Council on Sunday.
He said the decision came as there were 'procedural errors'.
In its report, the ACC recommended the Liberation War Affairs ministry and the public administration ministry to cancel their certificates and initiate legal procedures against the five.
According to the public service rule, the five may face charges of fraud and breach of discipline.
These senior government officials allegedly obtained the certificates to extend their service tenure by a year.
Secretary KH Masud Siddique was in charge of the Liberation War Affairs ministry while he obtained the certificate.
According to the rules, one has to show his/her freedom-fighter credentials while joining public service.
The Liberation War Affairs Ministry had cancelled the certificates of 182 government employees and ordered departmental steps against them.
