The Nigeria Senate has threatened to close down all Bet9ja offices across the country if the company fails to appear before it on its second invitation.



The Chairman of Senate committee on youth and sport, Senator Obinna Ogba, PDP, Ebonyi, while addressing the press in Abuja during the verification of Lotto companies with license to operate in Nigeria, disclosed that it was unlucky that Bet9ja has failed to honor their invitation as Vanguard reported.

He further commanded the clerk of the house to rewrite to the betting company again

“Clerk, write to Bet9ja again. If they did not honor your our invitation again, we will ask the National Lottery Commission to seal their offices.”

Senator Ogba who stated that the Senate was making all necessary efforts to help the lottery commission to generate money for the Federal Government, said:

“We wanted to see bet9ja. They can’t run away,”

According to Senator Ogba, their verification followed series of complaints against the betting companies, adding that some do not even have offices while others have not been making remittances to the government.

He said that while verifying, about 20 betting companies that honoured Senate invitation, “some got the licenses but they are not operating. The new regulation only give them one year to start operations,”
