The Port Hacourt home of Barrister Joi Nunieh, the former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has been taken over by dozens of Policemen.
She was billed for Abuja, Thursday morning, to appear before the House Committee probing the alleged missing N40bn from the coffers of the NDDC.
But reports from PH say she couldn’t leave for the airport as her residence had been taken over by dozens of Policemen since 4,00am Thursday. She fears she would be taken away by them, a source she desperately called, said.
Nunieh has been engaged in dirty altercation with the Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio, over what transpired at the NDDC during her tenure before her sack by the Minister.
The Minister had alleged she was sacked because she was not qualified for the job, having not participated in the NYSC programme. He also alleged insubordination and her temperament as other reasons, inviting her “four ex-husbands” as witnesses to her temperament. Nunieh, those who know her well confirm, was never married four times.
But the ex-MD had made damning allegations against Akpabio, bordering on corruption, oath taking, false allegations against Senator Nwaoboshi, and sexual harassment.
Akpabio, in a statement on Wednesday, denied the allegations, saying he had briefed his legal team on them.
More details, later.
