Nigeria’s Senate says it does not authorise or issue warrants of arrest through its committees in the case involving former Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) Group Chief Executive Officer Mele Kyari. The Senate distances itself from a warrant reported to have been linked to its Committee on Public Accounts, asserting that committees do not have the independent authority to initiate, authorise, or execute such warrants. In its position, the Senate frames the issue as one of jurisdiction and procedure, stating that no Senate committee can unilaterally act beyond its powers to produce a warrant of arrest without the appropriate legal basis. The chamber’s statement therefore clarifies that the reported warrant should not be treated as an action of the Senate itself. The announcement follows public discussion around alleged missing funds totaling N210 trillion, which has been associated with the broader investigations referenced in connection with Kyari. The Senate’s response focuses on correcting the record about its committees’ role rather than ruling on the underlying allegations.
