BREAKING: Ex-Science Minister Uche Nnaji Arraigned Over Alleged Certificate Forgery, Pleads Not Guilty

Former Minister of Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has been arraigned before a court over allegations of certificate forgery.

The former minister appeared in court on Monday, where he was formally docked to answer charges related to the alleged forgery of academic credentials.

During the proceedings, Nnaji denied the allegations and entered a not guilty plea to the charges brought against him.

Details of the prosecution’s case and the specific certificates at the centre of the allegations were not immediately disclosed at the time of filing this report.

The court is expected to determine the next steps in the trial, including issues relating to bail and the scheduling of subsequent hearings.

The case is likely to attract significant public attention given Nnaji’s previous role as a federal cabinet member and the broader concerns over accountability in public office.

This is a developing story, and more details are expected as court proceedings continue.
