In a dramatic turn of events, the Nigerian Senate is poised to issue arrest warrants for three high-ranking government officials following their failure to appear before its Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions.
Nigerian Stories, via its official X handle, broke the news that the Senate has specifically targeted the Head of Service, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack; Minister of Works, David Umahi; and the Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa.
The officials were summoned to address critical issues brought before the committee, but their absence has triggered a firm response from the lawmakers, who are now prepared to take legal action. The issuance of arrest warrants signals the Senate’s resolve to ensure accountability and compliance within the corridors of power.
This development raises concerns over the mounting tensions between the legislative and executive branches, as the Senate seeks answers to pressing national matters. It remains to be seen how these officials will respond to the looming threat of arrest and whether they will comply with future summonses.
Stay tuned as more unfolds in this riveting political showdown.
