Rivers State House of Assembly orders the arrest of the Vice-Chancellor of PAMO University of Medical Sciences over allegations of mismanaging a scholarship fund said to total N29 billion. The Assembly’s action follows its investigation and findings that the funds were not handled as required.
Both outlets report that the decision involves enforcement steps against the vice-chancellor, though they emphasize different procedural details. The Punch describes the arrest order in relation to the alleged mismanagement of the scholarship money. Vanguard reports that the Assembly issues a warrant of arrest. Neither source provides specific evidence, names of other officials involved, or details of any court proceedings at the time of publication.
The reports frame the matter as part of the Assembly’s oversight role over institutions operating within the state, focusing specifically on the N29 billion scholarship fund and the vice-chancellor’s responsibility in connection with the allegations.
