According to the statement, there is presently no criminal proceeding before any court of competent jurisdiction in which Nnaji is standing trial on forgery or any related criminal charge.
A former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Enugu State, Chief Uche Nnaji, has reaffirmed his commitment to the rule of law, urging the public to distinguish between ongoing civil proceedings and reported criminal charges surrounding his legal matters.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Dr. Robert Ngwu, Nnaji's camp said recent reports had generated widespread public misunderstanding by conflating separate legal proceedings and presenting incomplete accounts of matters pending before the courts.
The statement maintained that the objective was not to litigate the issues in the media but to clarify the legal position, place the facts in their proper context and reaffirm Nnaji's confidence in the judicial process.
According to the statement, the principal case concerning Nnaji's academic records is a civil suit pending before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
