Csos Alleged Political Bias Against Chief Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, urge ICPC to uphold Due Process.

A coalition of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) has accused the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) of political bias in its handling of matters involving former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Geoffrey Uche Nnaji. The coalition alleges that the Commission's actions could undermine democratic principles ahead of the 2027 Enugu State governorship election, while urging the ICPC to remain independent, respect ongoing judicial proceedings, and uphold the rule of law. The CSOs further emphasized that public confidence in Nigeria's anti-corruption institutions depends on fairness, transparency, due process, and the impartial administration of justice.
