But the NIS has confirmed that it issue an international passport indicating Nwamini’s age as 21 after due process.

However, in a bid to clear the controversy about his age, Senator Ekweremadu and his wife have filed an originating summon through their counsel and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Adegboyega Awomolo.

The couple prayed the court for an order directing the NIMC to bring out the Certified True Copy of the biodata of David Ukpo Nwamini.

Awomolo also urged the court to order the NIMC to produce Nwamini’s National Identification Number for the purpose of facilitating the criminal investigation and tendering it to establish his client’s innocence.
