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.

Security sources said Nnaji, who resigned last October under controversial circumstances, was arrested by DSS operatives at the request of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over allegations of certificate forgery and was subsequently handed over to the anti-graft agency.
According to the sources, the ICPC had extended several invitations to the former minister following petitions over the management of his ministry. The commission subsequently requested the DSS to assist in arresting him after he allegedly failed to honour the invitations.
