A Reverend Sister and Principal of the School of Nursing, Umulogho, Imo, Eberechukwu Nwachukwu, was on Tuesday dragged to court in Owerri for allegedly defrauding the students to the tune of N8.25 million.
Nwachukwu is facing a nine-count charge of acquisition of money on false pretences and threat to life at an Obowo Magistrates’ Court.
The students, when submitting their petition, claimed that each student paid N330,000 to the school management for Nursery and Midwifery Council Examinations, but their names were not registered for the examination.

The Magistrate, Mr M.O. Onyeweotu, in her ruling, granted Nwachukwu N500,000 bail with two sureties and adjourned the case until June 29 for the continuation of trial.
