Officers of the Nigerian police force have stormed the
residence of Joy Nunieh, former acting managing director of the Niger Delta
Development Commission (NDDC).
The security agents arrived at the residence (pictured)
located at 3, Owuru Creek view, off Herbert Macaulay Street, Old GRA, Port
Harcourt, Rivers state, early Thursday morning.
The development is coming ahead of Nunieh’s appearance
before a senate panel in Abuja investigating the activities of the NDDC.
When contacted, Omoni Nnamdi, spokesman of Rivers
police command, for comment he requested that he be called call back in 30
minutes’ time.
Akpabio and Nunieh had appeared before the senate ad hoc
panel investigating the alleged mismanagement of N40 billion by the interim
management committee (IMC) of the NDDC.
At the hearing, Akpabio said he did not know the expenditure
of the NDDC under Nunieh because she refused to give him briefings.
But Nunieh said the minister engineered her removal for
failing to dance to his tunes.
The ex-NDDC MD also made several allegations against the
minister.
She accused Akpabio of sexual harassment, budget padding,
fraud, among others.
Nunieh alleged that the minister asked her to change the
dollars in the NDDC account; sack the head of the legal team who is from the
north; remove all directors who refused to follow his instructions and also to
implicate Peter Nwaoboshi, chairman of the senate committee on NDDC.
She also said Akpabio was awarded 30 contracts before she
became the commission’s acting MD.
The Rivers state government had warned that no harm must
befall Nunieh, whom it described as its daughter.
