Arrest Warrant Issued For Cbn Governor And Others

The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions has issued an arrest warrant for the new Central Bank Governor, Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, the Accountant General of the Federation, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Madein, and 17 others. They refused to attend committee inquiries, leading to the warrant. Committee Chairman Micheal Irom ruled for their appearance on December 14, with the Inspector General of Police ensuring compliance. The motion for the arrest warrant was moved by Fred Agbedi, citing the figures' failure to attend despite four invitations. The petition stems from the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) 2021 report. Tribune
