Joy Nunieh, former acting managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), is currently testifying before the house of representatives committee on NDDC.
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.
Nyesom Wike, who prevented the police from taking Nunieh away, had asked the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to probe the invasion of the former NDDC boss.
It was alleged that the invasion was to prevent Nunieh from moving from Port Harcourt to Abuja to testify before the panel.
In Abuja, top officials of the NDDC, who appeared before the committee had walked out of the venue of the sitting after insisting that the panel Chairman, Mr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, must step down.
The house committee is probing alleged mismanagement of funds by the current interim management committee (IMC) of the NDDC.
