Allleged Missing N210 Trillion: Senate Orders Arrest Of Mele Kyari

The senate committee on public accounts has ordered the arrest of Mele Kyari, former group chief executive officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), over his repeated failure to honour invitations in an ongoing probe of the company’s finances.

Also speaking , Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North in the Senate said the former GCEO of the NNPCL should be arrested even if he’s dead.

The decision came as lawmakers intensified scrutiny of the company’s audit reports covering the period from 2017 to 2023, which reportedly contain unresolved financial entries and discrepancies valued at over N210 trillion.

The audit queries were forwarded to the committee by the office of the auditor-general for the federation.
