JUST IN: Senate disclaims Mele Kyari arrest warrant, slams Oshiomhole

The Senate has distanced itself from the arrest warrant reportedly issued against Mele Kyari, former Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, by its Committee on Public Accounts.

The upper legislative chamber also dissociated itself from remarks attributed to Senator Adams Oshiomhole (Edo North), who allegedly described the NNPC as a “bunch of criminals and thieves” during the committee’s hearing on Wednesday.

The senate clarified that the actions and statements credited to the committee and the lawmaker do not represent the position of the entire chamber.
