Nigeria’s Senate Committee on Public Accounts orders the arrest of former Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) chief Mele Kyari after he fails to appear before the committee. The panel is investigating audit queries and an alleged discrepancy of about ₦210 trillion in NNPCL’s finances for the period 2017 to 2023, based on reports submitted by the Auditor-General of the Federation. According to the reports, Kyari does not attend multiple invitations or requests to explain the “missing” or unaccounted funds linked to the audit findings. Premium Times and others report that the committee escalated its action from issuing threats of an arrest warrant to an order for his arrest after continued non-compliance. The Senate action centers on Kyari’s accountability as the former group chief executive, with the committee seeking clarification on the issues raised in the audit documentation. The outlets describe the steps taken by the committee as part of its oversight of public finances and follow-up on audit queries related to NNPCL.
