Ohanenye revealed that President Bola Tinubu cancelled the event but the organiser went ahead with it.

“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),” the minister said.

“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.
