The Federal High Court in Abuja recently granted permission for former Innovation, Science and Technology Minister Uche Nnaji to travel abroad for medical treatment. Nnaji's legal representative, Aji Kamale, requested the court to release the former minister's international passport to facilitate his overseas medical journey. Judge Joyce Abdulmalik promptly granted the passport release and scheduled a continuation of the trial for October 26.
Nnaji faced a six-count charge from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on July 13, including alleged certificate forgery, false information, corruption, and misuse of funds. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. The ICPC alleged that Nnaji unlawfully obtained N29.58 million in his Fidelity Bank account during his tenure as minister and possessed funds linked to corruption and fraud.
The commission also accused him of using his ministerial position to benefit himself, presenting false certificates, and using forged NYSC and university degree certificates.
