Hot SourceHuman rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has urged the former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, to surrender himself to police.
Effiong stated this in a post on his X handle on Tuesday.
“These were my final thoughts last night while featuring on Channels TV on the certificate forgery scandal involving Mr. Uche Nnaji, who has just resigned as Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology. He should surrender himself to the police,” he said.
The development comes after the Presidency announced that Nnaji had resigned from President Bola Tinubu’s government.
The presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday.
According to Onanuga, the minister resigned today in a letter, thanking Tinubu for allowing him to serve Nigeria.
Nnaji, according to Onanuga, claimed that he had been a target of blackmail by political opponents.
Onanuga said, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has accepted the resignation of Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, following some allegations against him.”
