  "summary": "Uche Nnaji, a former minister, has been allowed by a court to travel abroad for medical treatment. The Federal High Court in Abuja granted permission for his travel and ordered the release of his international passport.\n\nNnaji is facing a six-count charge related to alleged certificate forgery, false information, and corruption, brought by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). According to the ICPC, Nnaji received a sum of N29,578,466.67 as salary and allowances while serving as minister, which the commission described as \"proceeds of unlawful acts\".\n\nThe case has been adjourned until 26 October for continuation of trial.
