Description

''The security agents arrived at the residence (pictured) 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 house of representatives panel in Abuja investigating the activities of the NDDC.

When TheCable reached Omoni Nnamdi, spokesman of Rivers police command, for comment he requested that he be called back in 30 minutes’ time.

But when the police spokesman was called back he said he was yet to get a report on the siege.

An associate of the ex-NDDC MD shared her message on the incident with TheCable.

”This morning, I started hearing people at my gate at about 4:30am. I was trying to prepare to come down, to catch the first flight to Abuja. So I wondered, then I sent my girl there. She said that it is police people and they said I should follow them,” Nunieh said.''
