See Why Senate Threatens To Issue Arrest Warrants Against NPA, NIMASA Bosses.

The Senate committee on public accounts has threatened to ensure the arrest of Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) and Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) bosses.

The chairman of the committee, Matthew Urhoghide made the disclosure on Friday, September 17, while addressing newsmen in Abuja.

According to him, the CEO of NPA and the DG of NIMASA have both refused to appear before the House to explained suspicious expenditure to the tune of N10 billion and N814million under their watch.

It is to this end Urhoghide issued the warning.

He said “For 2016, 2017 and 2018 AuGF reports we are considering concurrently now, the erring agencies, including the NPA, NIMASA, among others, we are going to make sure they appear.”

“It might border on embarrassing the accounting officers of those agencies. We are ready to issue warrants of arrest against them because I know the Senate president will be well disposed to signing a warrant of arrest, particularly against the agencies found guilty of same offence when we were considering the 2015 report.”
