The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has secured a warrant of arrest against Uche Nnaji, a former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology.

In a ruling on Thursday, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted the order for arrest following an ex parte motion filed by the ICPC in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1160/2026.

President Bola Tinubu appointed Nnaji as minister in August 2023.

Nnaji resigned as minister following allegations that he forged the academic and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) credentials submitted during his ministerial screening and confirmation process.

The ICPC’s ex parte motion, dated June 3, was filed on June 4, and attached was an affidavit deposed by one David Nelson.
