  • On Monday, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja released the international passport of former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Uche Nnaji, permitting him to travel abroad for medical treatment.
  • The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission is prosecuting Nnaji on six counts of certificate forgery, false information, abuse of office, and money laundering following an investigation into his ministerial appointment credentials.
