Wike arrived Nunieh’s residence off Herbert Marculay Street, Amada-Flat at about 10:30 this morning following reports that she had been prevented from leaving her house by a team of policemen allegedly on the order of the Inspection General of Police.
He then proceeded to enter the house, and was seen driving her off in his convoy.
A visibly angry Wike questioned the policemen on who authorised the siege and when they claimed it was from the IGP, he beckoned on Ms Nunieh to come out from her house.
Meanwhile, the report has it that he has left with her to the Government House.
It would be recalled that a while ago, more than 30 policemen stormed Dr. Joy’s House at GRA Port Harcourt, when she was due to leave for the airport en route Abuja in order to appear before Senate Committee probing NDDC.
Nunieh had called Arise TV early this morning that about 15 policemen invaded her house in Port Harcourt.
The invasion reportedly happened around 4 a.m.
Nunieh was scheduled to appear in Abuja today before a senate panel probing the finances of the NNDC.
A few days ago, Wike warned Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio not to do anything untoward against Nunieh, a citizen of Rivers State.
The police are yet to explain why they stormed the home of Nunieh, on the same day, she was scheduled to travel to Abuja to testify.
Akpabio and Nunieh have been embroiled in war of words over allegations of corruption in the NDDC.
The former MD of NDDC, accused Akpabio of sexual harassment, budget padding, fraud, among others, which the Minister has denied.
She also said the so-called forensic audit going on in NDDC was a ruse.
