Joy Nunieh, the former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission testified before members of the House of Representatives Committee investigating alleged financial misappropriation in the commission.
The hearing, which was shifted to Friday after policemen laid siege on Nunieh’s house in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, preventing her from leaving for the airport to travel to Abuja.
It took the intervention of the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike for the ex-NDDC boss to finally make the trip to Abuja to testify before the lawmakers on the crisis within the commission.
Nunieh and Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, have had a public spat recently over how the commission was being run.
NDDC has been inundated with discoveries of massive corruption, forcing stakeholders to call for its scrapping by the Federal Government.
