ICPC Investigator Testifies Against Uche Nnaji's Certificates
On October 26, 2026, Superintendent of Police Yakubu Ibrahim, an investigator with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), testified in a Federal High Court in Abuja regarding Uche Nnaji, the former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology. Nnaji is facing six counts of corruption, fraud, conferring corrupt advantage, and providing false information related to allegedly forged university degree and NYSC discharge certificates.
Ibrahim revealed that both the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) denied issuing the certificates presented by Nnaji. The ICPC began its investigation following two petitions accusing Nnaji of certificate forgery.
The investigation included requests for documents from various institutions, and UNN confirmed it did not issue the degree attributed to Nnaji. The NYSC also denied issuing the discharge certificate dated May 15, 1986.
Nnaji, who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Enugu State for the 2027 election, was arrested on July 1, 2026, after failing to respond to an invitation for questioning.
