The Senate Public Accounts Committee (SPAC) yesterday ordered the arrest of former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, over his repeated failure to appear before lawmakers investigating audit queries linked to an alleged N210 trillion in unaccounted funds.
The dramatic decision came amid a heated confrontation between former Edo State Governor and Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, and former NNPCL Chief Financial Officer, Umar Ajiya Isa, who appeared before the committee to defend the company’s financial records.
