Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has reportedly ordered the arrest of an event organiser for alleged impersonation of the ministry in Abuja.
The Minister was in a viral video, on Thursday, seen stopping the event organised by Mela-Chiyoma Pat Limited.
She said 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 disclosed that President Bola Tinubu cancelled the event but the organiser went ahead with it.
The Minister 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.”
She argued that the event organizer should not have organized the event under the aegis of the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs, stressing that the President is not happy about it.
