Armed Officers of the Nigerian police have stormed Joi Nunieh’s House, former acting managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (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.
The development is coming ahead of Nunieh’s appearance before a senate panel in Abuja investigating the activities of the NDDC.
Godswill 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.

Breaking news on @ARISEtv that armed security men have been at Joi Nunieh’s premises. She is on the phone to anchors – tune in. This is a ridiculous attempt to intimidate her.
