ICPC, in a four-count charge, filed before Justice Usman Hassan, of the Kebbi State High Court, accused Mr. Nuhu of abuse of office when he allegedly diverted N6 million meant for attending a conference and paying for his post graduate studies, into personal use.

Counsel to ICPC, Mashkur Salisu, told the court that his offence violated Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and Section 311 of the Penal Code.

The court heard that the former lecturer was given N6 million grant by the Polytechnic in 2017, to enable him to attend an international conference in the United Kingdom and also pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme in Malaysia.

He was alleged to have failed to attend the conference as well as declined to embark on the post graduate studies after he was paid.
