Governor Nyesome Wike of Rivers State today stepped in to rescue former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Joy Nunieh, from house arrest.

Reports revealed earlier today that Nunieh's Port Harcourt residence was surrounded by policemen, who barred her from leaving home this morning.

Governor Wike was said to have forced entry into Nunieh's house and ordered the police officers out of the premises.

The security operatives were said to have arrived her residence at about 4:30 am Thursday when she was preparing to catch the first flight to Abuja.

Nunieh is scheduled to appear before the House Committee on NDDC to give her account on the allegations of misappropriation in the Commission.

The ex-NDDC boss had accused the Minister of Niger Delta, Senator Godswill Akpabio, of corruption, sexual harassment, pipelines bombing, abuse of office, among others.
