The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, on Thursday, disrupted an event organised by Mela-Chiyoma Pat Limited in Abuja over alleged impersonation of the ministry.

CityNews Nigeria reports that in a video shared by the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR), the minister was seen accusing the organizers of impersonation.

According to her, the event, tagged “Unveiling the power of women and food security,” was conveyed in the name of the Ministry of Women Affairs without approval.

Kennedy-Ohanenye added that the Department of State Services (DSS) had taken the event organiser into custody.

Addressing the attendees and referring to the event organisers, she said: “I’m standing here to explain this to everyone. She has been arrested. She should have reorganised herself, used her name to make the invitation, and used her name to do this, not to use the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.

“I can’t allow this programme to go on because this is pure impersonation, and the President is not happy about it. I’m saying it, let the media cover it. We don’t care. You don’t do this. You don’t take the ministry for granted, for what?”
