THE LION BUILDING AMBUSH: How Chief Uche Nnaji’s 'Airport Arrest' Narrative Was Manufactured as a Coordinated Political Hoax

Jul 02, 2026 · 3 min read

Sensationalist media headlines claiming that the former Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, was arrested at the airport have been exposed as a cheap, state-sponsored media hoax.

Legally insulated by an active appeal filed on June 18, 2026, by Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, Chief Nnaji's team has dismantled the propaganda, revealing a nervous regime terrified of his unstoppable grassroots momentum.
