Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has described
the besieged of the residence of Joy Nunieh, a former Acting Managing Director
of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by the Nigeria Police
operatives as ‘cowardly and shameful’.
He also hailed Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike for moving
Nunieh out of her residence to Government House Port Harcourt.
Nunieh was due to appear before a Senate panel in Abuja, today.
The upper legislative chamber is investigating the alleged
misuse of N40 billion NDDC funds by the Interim Management Committee (IMC).
Nunieh and Godswill Akpabio, Niger Delta Minister, have been
engaged in a shouting match over the crisis rocking the NDCC.
Reacting to the development, Fani-Kayode in a tweet on his
official Twitter page, said: “Sending armed policemen to raid Joy Nunieh’s home
at 4.00 am in the morning, putting her under house arrest & blocking her
from leaving her house as she was scheduled to leave for the airport to travel
to Abuja & testify before the Senate this morning is cowardly &
shameful.
“Gov. Wike saved Joy Nunieh’s life today. The police raid on
her house at 4.00 am was illegal & was NOT backed by a warrant or
authorized by the I-G. It was simply an attempt to abduct & possibly kill
her. Wike arrived on the scene, broke the siege & saved her life. I commend
him.”
