The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio and the acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Prof.

Daniel Pondei, are expected to appear before the House of Representatives on Monday .

The acting MD had asked that the panel’s Chairman, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, should not preside over the probe, a request that was turned down by the lawmakers. The group advised Buhari to set up an investigative panel to look into the allegation, rather than leave it in the hands of the National Assembly, where the probe had become messy.

Falana also demanded that the Department of State Services obey three separate court orders for the release of an Aba, Abia State-based lawyer, Mr Emperor Ogbonna, who was arrested in March this year for criticising Governor Okezie Ikpeazu in a Facebook post.
