DSS Arrests Ex-Minister Uche Nnaji for Corruption

Uche Nnaji, who served as the Minister of Science and Technology, was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) on Wednesday morning at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu. He was reportedly attempting to board a private jet to Abuja when he was apprehended.

Sources indicate that the ICPC had extended several invitations to Nnaji in connection with allegations of corrupt practices related to his management of the ministry. The details surrounding the circumstances of his arrest and the specific allegations against him have not been fully disclosed.
