Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, minister of women affairs, says an event organiser has been taken into custody by the Department of State Services (DSS) for alleged impersonation of the ministry in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Kennedy-Ohanenye spoke in Abuja on Thursday while stopping
the event organised by Mela-Chiyoma Pat Limited.
In a trending video, the minister said the event,
tagged “Unveiling the power of women and food security,” was conveyed in the
name of the ministry of women affairs without approval.
She said President Bola Tinubu ordered the cancellation of
the event, but the organiser proceeded with it.
“There is an
impersonating thing going on here. The federal ministry of women affairs did
not plan this. The lady, I have arrested her. Right now, she is with the
Department of State Service (DSS),” the minister said.
“After we wrote that we were cancelling, the president
approved that we should cancel until further notice; she still went ahead to
print this thing.
“This is impersonation. As far as this thing was given out
there, that makes it a fraud. So, that is why I am standing here to explain
this to everyone. She has been arrested.
“She should have
organised herself, used her name to make an invitation, and used her name to do
this and not to use the federal ministry of women affairs.
“I can’t allow this programme to move on. I am sorry about
it because this is pure impersonation, and the president is not happy about it.
“I am saying this. Let the media cover it; I don’t care. You
don’t do this. You don’t take the ministry for granted.”
