The Senate Committee on Public Accounts has threatened to issue an arrest warrant against former NNPC MD, Mele Kyari. This action stems from Mr. Kyari’s repeated failure to appear before the committee to address an alleged ₦210 trillion discrepancy in financial reports. The discrepancy was identified in reports submitted by the Auditor-General of the Federation.

This development highlights ongoing scrutiny of financial accountability within key government parastatals, underscoring the legislative body’s efforts to ensure transparency in public funds. The alleged discrepancy covers a significant period, drawing attention to financial oversight mechanisms.

The reports from the Auditor-General of the Federation span from 2017 to 2023, covering multiple years of operations for the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC). The Senate committee is tasked with investigating these financial statements and discrepancies.
