She was billed to appear before a panel of the National Assembly probing the financial activities of the NDDC.
A video on Television Continental showed the governor at the premises with his security aides on arrival and during the departure with Nunieh.
Nunieh has been at loggerheads with the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio.
The duo who had appeared before the panel at the National Assembly probing the financial activities of the NDDC had accused each other of malpractices.
