Security presence was increased at the National Assembly on Monday ahead of the appearance of Senator Godswill Akpabio before the House of Representatives committee on Nigeria Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The committee is probing alleged financial misappropriation at the development agency.
Akpabio, who is the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, has been accused, by former acting Managing Director of the NDDC, Joy Nunieh, of corruption and sexual harassment.
He has denied the accusations.
Nunieh appeared before the Reps committee on Friday via teleconferencing.
It is not clear yet whether Akpabio will appear in person or via electronic means.
