Responding to the allegation, the minister took to his Twitter page to refute the claim, describing it as a fat lie.
He tweeted:
THIS IS A FAT LIE FROM HER: The owner of the building @NgComCommission has faulted her lies on their social media platforms. The minister has never given that directives to any gunman. We need to be very objective in reporting. I have never sent any gunmen there, & I have no one.

But Dabiri-Erewa was not going to let Pantami’s claim slide as she swiftly reacted to the tweet, saying his disrespect for women is legendary.
She said the minister ejected her staff from their office because she is a woman.
She said:
An Islamic scholar should not lie Hon Minister. ( PhD)You did that to me cos I am a woman. Your disrespect for women is legendary Left the ugly incident behind me since Feb. But pls release all our office equipment. Public office is transient .@DrIsaPantami.
