The Senate
has ordered the arrest of the chief executive officers of 30 companies for
allegedly failing to appear before it, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
The
companies include mobile giant, Globacom, and Crown Flour Mills.
A Senate
committee, headed by Hope Uzodinma, had earlier invited the chief executives as
part of its investigation into a ‘N30 trillion’ revenue scam allegedly
perpetrated by the firms.
The Senate
had on Wednesday threatened to issue the arrest warrants; but on Thursday, it
said it was extending the appearance till next week.
The News
Agency of Nigeria, however, reports that the order to arrest the chief
executives was given on Friday.
