Sources confirm that Nunieh is being invited for questioning by the Police, a piece of information that is yet to be authenticated by the Spokesman of the Rivers State police command, SP Omoni Nnamdi.

President Buhari’s minister, Godswill Akpabio and Nunieh have been embroiled in a war of words over allegations of corruption in the NDDC.
