Following the massive presence of Nigeria Police Operatives, Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has rushed to the residence of a former acting Managing Director, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Joy Nunieh, in Port Harcourt.

The armed security operatives besieged the residence of Nunieh on a day she was to travel to Abuja to testify before an ad-hoc committee of the House of Representatives investigating the alleged misuse of N40billion NDDC funds.

Nunieh has been engaged in allegations and counter allegations with Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, over corruption and mismanagement of resources that accrued to the commission.

The armed policemen, who reportedly came in dozens as early as 4am on Thursday, were said to have surrounded the house attempting to gain entrance into the main building.

A source said the policemen repeatedly banged the gate and later forced it open but could not enter inside the house where Nunieh took cover.
