Nunieh was meant to testify on Thursday before the committee but some police officers prevented her from leaving her residence in Rivers state.
It took the intervention of Nyesom Wike, Rivers governor, to get her out of the siege.

Joi Nunieh had vowed to open more cans of worms against Godswill Akpabio to Nigerians when given another opportunity in the national assembly to testify.
She stated this while speaking with reporters at government house in Port Harcourt.
She said, “The man that harassed me is at home, the man who stole the money is at home, the man who stole government files is at home, the man who took money is at home, the man who said I should go and take an oath is at home. It is a criminal offence, it is life imprisonment to take oaths, to even offer me an oath is liable,” she said.
“I am sure my lawyers will be working on my next step as we speak. I don’t think that Akpabio can kill me; definitely, he can’t.
But, why do people think that he has monopoly of violence. I think Akpabio wanted to stop me from giving my submissions before the house of representatives committee today. He succeeded but I am sure the house of representatives will give me another date. Nigerians will hear more.”
