Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, has
commenced a legal process against Joy Nunieh, a former Managing Director of the
Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
Akpabio ordered his lawyer to seek court redress against
Nunieh over allegations she made against him.
The Minister’s directive was contained in a statement signed
and sent by his Special Assistant on Media, Anietie Ekong.
He described Nunieh’s claims against him as “cornucopia of
false, malicious and libelous.”
The statement said: “Akpabio has instructed his lawyers to
seek necessary redress in a Court of competent jurisdiction on his behalf over
the defamatory statements made by the former acting managing director of the
Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)
Ms. Joy Nunieh.
“The Honourable Minister’s initial attitude was to allow his
lawyers and the judicial system vindicate him of the false allegations against
him, but he is compelled to react to some of the wayward allegations levelled
against his person by Ms. Nunieh, especially the one bothering on sexual
harassment.”
Nunieh had accused the former Akwa Ibom State governor of
sexual harassment, fraud, among others.
He, however, denied all the allegations against him.
Just yesterday, police officers had invaded Nunieh’s residence
in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Nunieh was, however, rescued by the state Governor, Nyesom
Wike who relocated her to the state’s Government House.

He Akpabio is only trying so hard to divert attention from the real issues on ground, fraud and mismanagement of Niger Deltans funds. May Jehovah God's kingdom come soon and set matters straight in Nigeria and all over the world, then we can all live the real life since all the wicked one's will be unfailingly destroyed .
