Women minister stops Abuja event, orders organiser's arrest

The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Uju Kenedy-Ohanenye, on Thursday, disrupted an ongoing event in the Federal Capital City of Abuja, accusing the organiser of impersonating the ministry.

In a one-minute video posted on the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the International Centre for Investigative Reporting, #TheICIR, the minister disclosed that the organiser had been arrested and that the event was on hold.

The event was planned by Mela-Chiyoma PAT Limited and themed “Unveiling the Power of Women in Food Security”, although other details of the event were sketchy.

Ohanenye explained that President Bola Tinubu was displeased about the use of the name of the ministry in planning the event, adding that the organiser should have used her own name in planning the event.

Addressing journalists who were invited by the organisers, she said, “I am 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 am saying it, let the media cover it. I don’t care. You don’t do this. You don’t take the ministry for granted, for what?”
