The Senate's Committee on Public Accounts has issued an arrest order for Engr. Mele Kyari, the former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), due to his non-appearance at a scheduled hearing. This hearing was convened to address allegations regarding an unaccounted sum of N210 trillion associated with the state oil company from 2017 to 2023. During the proceedings, Ajiya, a representative of the NNPCL, maintained that no funds were missing, contradicting the claims under investigation. The Senate's action underscores the ongoing scrutiny of financial management within the NNPCL.
