The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has reportedly disrupted an event in Abuja while going on.
She also arrested the organiser of the event over alleged impersonation of the ministry.
A video obtained by DAILY GIST shows the moment the minister stopped the event organised by Mela-Chiyoma Pat Limited on Thursday.
According to her, the event, tagged “Unveiling the power of women and food security,” was convened in the name of the Ministry of Women Affairs without approval.
Ohanenye revealed that President Bola Tinubu cancelled the event but the organiser went ahead with it.
In her words, she said: “There is an impersonating thing going on here. The Federal Ministry of Women Affairs did not plan this.
The lady, I have arrested her. Right now, she is with the Department of State Service (DSS)”
“After we wrote that we were cancelling, the president approved that we should cancel until further notice; she still went ahead to print this thing.
“This is impersonation. As far as this thing was given out there, that makes it a fraud. So, that is why I am standing here to explain this to everyone. She has been arrested”, Ohanenye added.
The minister explained that the event organizer should have not organized the event under the aegis of the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs but instead in her own name.
According to her, President Tinubu is not happy about the development.
