It is not *anywhere" mentioned that the lieutenant of Minas Morgul would be a Nazgūl, thus *it is* likely that he would be of the same race as the lieutenant of Barad-dūr, the "Mouth of Sauron".

You might also note that Khamūl is the Lieutenant of Dol Guldur.
Now you see the problem.
One lt. is a Ringwraith, one is a corrupted man (but not a Ringwraith), and one's race is not given. This is the conclusion of every Gothmog discussion that comes about. I think he's a man on account of Tolkien not stating he was a Nazgul, but that's all the basis I have. Search to see more - this has been done quite a few times.
