A House of Representatives ad-hoc panel yesterday resolved to issue an arrest warrant against the chairman of Globacom Nigeria, Chief Mike Adenuga for failing to honour its invitations.

The panel, which is investigating activities of telecommunications companies, said it had summoned Adenuga after making several attempts to have him appear before it were not successful.

The chairman of the committee, Rep Ahmed Abu (APC, Niger) said Adenuga’s action was an affront to the legislature, saying he ought to appear to clear issues related to financial obligations by his company.

Abu said records before the panel showed that Globacom Nigeria owes the Federal Government over N16.7 billion.

He asked both the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) to go after the Glo chief for holding Nigeria’s money.

“A situation where the parliament will invite an agency or organization and then it won’t come, then we’re going nowhere. Some people feel they’re too big; that they’re above the law. I’m making reference to Mr Mike Adenuga, the chairman of Glo.

“The amount of disrespect he has for the parliament is unacceptable. Yes, he’s a billionaire, but that doesn’t mean anything. Anybody can be a billionaire in the right atmosphere,” he said.

A member of the panel, Abdulrahman Shuaibu (APC, Adamawa) moved that the panel should approach the House to issue an arrest warrant against Adenuga, which was supported by all members.

Shuaibu said, “We summoned him, but he failed to appear. I want to move that in view of that, we issue an arrest warrant against him for the IGP to produce him on February 15 by 12 noon.”

Abu ruled that “The committee hereby resolves that an arrest warrant be issued against the chairman of Globacom.”

The panel would have to approach Speaker Yakubu Dogara to sign the arrest warrant for it to be effected.

Our correspondent later gathered that there was a mix up as a Glo representative that was delegated to attend the meeting went to the House standing committee on telecommunications instead of the ad-hoc committee.

When he later discovered that he was actually to appear before the ad-hoc panel, he rushed to the venue, but the meeting had ended.

A Glo source told Daily Trust that they have appealed to the panel to reconsider its decision as the non-appearance before it yesterday was not deliberate.

A national assembly that couldn't tame a customs boss, is that one a national assembly?

In their record, is adenuga the debtor or GLO communications?
If it is adenuga, then, they should declare him wanted sef b4 arresting him but if it is GLO, then, a competent team can rep the coy na, afterall the coy has not folded up nor gone bankrupt.

peeps4u:


The same thing that came to my mind. Thy should have sticked to mentioning GLO, not Adenuga.

U know say in Nigeria things are not done in the right way. Atleast, GLO will have executive and legal team that can speak better than even adenuga in this stance, so why must they insist on seeing him? Afterall, I don't think its a criminal case or case of fraud .,. Shuuu
Obviously, this is a case of misplaced priority. Calling a whole chairman of a billion naira coy to answer a case of debt to fg, that means they can also summon Buhari to explain the reason fg is owing civil servants and contractors, billions of naira... Oshisco!

Chief Mike Adenuga is hardly seen or heard in public.

A cool, calm and collected billionaire.

Funny our House members are appealing to or ordering EFCC to arrest their big fish.

Yinmu.... Tell us about the other plans

Nawa For This Country

You can't be above govt. I wonder people refuse to appear when summoned

It also asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission to go after the business mogul and recover over N16.7billion from him.

With so much audacity as if he ate their contribution money

We are still waiting for the custom's guy to do likewise.

Meanwhile Trump is also considering appearing before the Mueller panel
So Nigeria is not alone

Nigeria will be great again, say amen

Nonsense!!!

Boyooosa:
In their record, is adenuga the debtor or GLO communications?

The same thing that came to my mind. Thy should have sticked to mentioning GLO, not Adenuga.

Toothless reps. When custom boss disregarded your rules and ethics you fumed like dogs and lowered your heads. Now you’re being so bold to issue arrest against a southerner.

Glo corporation has more value to Nigeria than the National Assembly.

They hv no such powers, the constitution only empower them to summon those they can appropriate fund to and perform oversight function.

your post shows that you lack sense and reasoning

when will house of reps call for Obasanjo's arrest for the Alscon scandal?

or call for Buhari's arrest the time he misplaced $1billion as minister of petroleum?

yeye

fake Glo network

He is a criminal

Ok nah.
If he is an Igbo man, you will see DSS, SSS, EFCC, ICPC and all their sisters and brothers at his house as early as possible to arrest him without invitation. Just like they did with Innoson Motors. Nonsense.

So if person d owe... Na efcc work be that.... Mumu people
