Former Minister of Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has reportedly been arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, while preparing to board a chartered flight to Abuja.
The incident was said to have occurred on Wednesday when security operatives took the former minister into custody at the airport.
According to sources, Nnaji was detained before being moved for further processing, with indications that he may be handed over to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) for interrogation.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the arrest have not been officially confirmed by authorities, and the ICPC has yet to issue a public statement on the matter as of the time of filing this report.
It also remains unclear what specific allegations prompted the reported detention.
Further updates are expected as more information becomes available from relevant security and anti-corruption agencies.
