Dr Nunieh was billed to appear before the Senate Committee investigating the alleged looting of the NDDC.



The security agents arrived at the residence located at 3, Owuru Creek view, off Herbert Macaulay Street, Old GRA, Port Harcourt, Rivers state, early Thursday morning.



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, who it described as its daughter.
