Governor Nyesom Wike has “rescued” embattled former NDDC Managing Director Joy Nunieh from police detention at a residence in Port Harcourt.
This comes hours after police officers cordoned off her house preventing any entry and exit, They stormed her house at 3, Owuru Creek view, off Herbert Macaulay Street, Old GRA, Port Harcourt around 4.am.
Governor Wike’s convoy had earlier driven past the street to Joy Nunieh’s residence before eventually forcing entry into her residence and ordering the police officers out.
Moments later she emerged from the building and was driven off in the same vehicle as the Governor.
Nunieh was due to appear before Senate committee on NDDC in Abuja this morning,
Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, and Nunieh had last week appeared before a Senate ad hoc panel investigating the alleged mismanagement of N40bn by the Interim Management Committee 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.
