…hands over to ICPC
Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), on Wednesday morning, arrested former Minister of Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, as he was about to board a private jet to Abuja.
A trusted security source said Nnaji, who resigned last October under controversial circumstances, was arrested by DSS officers at the request of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over allegations of certificate forgery and was later handed over to the Anti-Graft Agency.
According to the source, the ICPC had extended several invitations to the former minister following petitions on how he managed his Ministry, and therefore contacted the DSS to assist in arresting him.
