A witness for Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency tells a Federal High Court in Abuja that the University of Nigeria (UNN) and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) disown the degree and service certificates presented by former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji.
The testimony comes as part of a case before the court, with the ICPC investigator describing how the matter is being pursued. Across outlets, the shared focus is on UNN and NYSC distancing themselves from the documents attributed to Nnaji, and on the ICPC’s role in bringing the allegation to court.
While the core facts are consistent—disowning of Nnaji’s certificates and the ICPC witness speaking in court—outlets differ slightly in what they foreground. One outlet emphasizes the disowning in the headline, another also foregrounds the “alleged certificate forgery” framing, and another leads with the same dispute but provides a shorter summary. All present the event as court testimony tied to the forgery allegation.
