The nun is facing a nine-count charge bordering on obtaining money under false pretences and threat to life.

In their petition, the affected students had reported a case of fraud against the school principal at the Police Area Command in Okigwe sometime in March.

The students alleged that they each paid the sum of N330,000 to the school management for Nursing and Midwifery Council Examinations, but their names were not forwarded to the appropriate quarters for the examination.

Police Prosecutor, Emmanuel Wonah said the offences were contrary to provisions of the Criminal Code, Laws of Imo.

Giving evidence at the trial, one of the complainants, Miss Amarachi Wokenna, told the court that she paid a total of N330,000 to the school management as registration fee for the Nursing and Midwifery Council Examination.

According to Wokenna, the Rev Sister “acknowledged the payment by issuing a receipt” but surprisingly the principal refused to forward her name to the council for the exam which held in April.

When the charges were read, Nwachukwu pleaded not guilty.
