You do know Congress summons are legally binding?

They may ignore him due to his status, but he could be jailed if it comes down to it.

Flangelo12:
I keep reminding everyone, the courts cleared Yakubu of having $9.7 million in cash.

Focus your energy on the issue itself.
If Dangote is concerned about Farouk's administrative action, that's what he should focus on.

No court would jail Farouk for paying fees, even such fees are 1 billion dollars.

deji17:
Even if Farouk is prosecuted, this is how the matter will be decided abi no be Nigeria court? They love looters a lot!👇

Flangelo12:
Mr. Farouk holds a degree in engineering technology from the Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA, and has attended several executive and management / leadership training programmes globally during his career life of over thirty-five years.

The extensive professional achievements of Mr. Farouk spans through successful career endeavours which started by working as a logic board verification engineer at Apple Computer Inc. (later called Apple Inc.), in Dallas, Texas, and operating at broad managerial and executive leadership positions in the dynamic Oil and Gas Industry as listed below.

- Executive Secretary – Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Authority (PPPRA),

Rebelutionary:
They woke something in Dangote and right now they all will wish they never did!

Alhaji wey no dey talk suddenly turns whistleblower tells us he is ready to play dirty and with the kind of resources at his disposal, one should fear!

Dangote like a village will cook for this Farouk guy what he will choke on!

reddingtonblack:
You dont have to remind us of anything, in this very Nigeria we have seen one case having different verdict, So using Yakubu case to tell automatically thats how farouk case wil go is not tenable .. i am not naive

Even Dangote added, he is not after Farouk losing his job, buh the authorities should investigate if he can legitly pay that money ...Fine

i dont get why you are taking things overboard .. Farouk stands the benefit of "trial nd investigation" .. so whats the fuss

Godfullsam:
These northerners believe Nigeria money belong to them.

That is why they lavish it with reckless abandonment anytime they are fortunate to find themselves in the corridor of power.

I won't be surprised if thelis weighty allegation is swept under the carpet since the ICPC chairman is a northerner and the reps that summon them are majority northerners.

Yes, the Nigerian Senate can issue warrants to compel attendance during its investigations, and refusing to comply is an offense, but the power to actually imprison is nuanced.

Power to Issue Warrants
The Nigerian Senate (as part of the National Assembly) is empowered by Section 89 of the Constitution and the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act to conduct investigations and procure evidence. This includes the explicit power to:
Order the attendance of witnesses.

Issue a warrant to compel the attendance of a person who has failed to honor a summons.
This warrant is issued by the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House, as the case may be, and is executed by a police officer.
Power to Jail
While the Senate can issue warrants and an officer of the legislative house has the power to arrest individuals who commit offenses contrary to the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act within the precincts of the house, the Senate itself does not have the authority to impose jail sentences directly.
Refusal to attend or refusal to answer questions is an offense under the Act, and those who commit such offenses can be arrested.
However, the resulting legal proceedings are typically considered judicial proceedings for certain purposes, meaning the offenses would be prosecuted in a court of law, which has the power to impose punishment, including imprisonment. The Senate cannot act as a court to jail people directly, as the Constitution subjects the exercise of legislative powers to the jurisdiction of the courts and does not grant the legislature the power to create laws with retrospective criminal effect or oust court jurisdiction.
In practice, the Senate can arrest and detain individuals briefly for contempt within its premises, but any substantial punishment, such as a jail term, must be decided by a proper court through the due legal process.

Burob:
• Managing Director – NiDAS Marine Limited,
• Senior Crude Oil Trader – Duke Oil Inc, here lays the conflict of interests, & compromise.

reddingtonblack:
what i asked was very simple, give me an example of someone Senate or court as jailed becos he refuse to attend senate summon

Reading a full textbook of law to me is even more strenuous than my request

Has ojulari honor them till now

madridguy:
The House of Representatives have summoned both parties and asked them to stop public comments.

bassdow:
now House of Thieves don say make dem close mouth. Obviously so what's hidden don't get revealed

Flangelo12:
I clearly stated they would look at status.

There was a time VDM was summoned If I remember correctly.

reddingtonblack:
You cant find an answer or e no dey, ojulari was summoned and till now he dey carry dem play .. lets drop the arguement i wasnt born yesterday

Maxymilliano:
Imagine Dangote coming after you

Dogalmighty17:
I like how Dangote is evolving. The guy is skilled in various areas. Earlier in the year he was a skit maker and content creator. Now he has kept suit and agbada aside and is openly doing agbero. Him no just wan get joy dis period.

The kind hold wey him hold NMDPRA oga for blokkus go dey make dat guy regret the day wey him look for Dangote trouble.


I understand with Dangote though. The oil cabals want to frustrate his 25 billion dollars refinery and if Dangote stays gentle and calm, they'll succeed.

The worlds richest black man has activated agbero mode. Anybody wey him jam dis period their name na sorry.

fatosky1:
Aliko Dangote just wanted to destroy the good career of this man because he didn't agree to do his dirty bidding. I pray God will safe him once his hands are clean. A business man turn whistleblower and private investigator to crush and destroy his kinsman just to keep milking the downstream market as he likes.

Exactly. They want to kill his refinery and he has to fight back

Omoawoke:
Is that how his mates run business ?
That’s underemployment and nothing good about it…
What happened to investing in his logistics, compliance and safety?
But this is Nigeria, lawless country… undercut, underemployment and underpay at the detriment of innocent people’s life and safety.
Well, the people being oppressed will still be same people that will defend him and worship him for his money

reddingtonblack:
no

You think Dangote dont know All these things you posted abi, you think Dangote is not in better to position to weigh Farouk legit attainable income

If a Dangote is telling you a Farouk does not belong to the class that can spend $5m on school you think reminding us he works in Apple is a vindication ... lol how naive

Anyone that can pay $5m for school fee alone should be on forbes

maasoap:
You are just going in circles. It is up to the drivers to comply with road safety regulations. If Dangote could go as far as intentionally hiring graduates for driving job, I think he's done the right thing. His drivers are being sent to training school in zaria, I bet you didn't know that.
BTW: how his mates running their businesses?

Omoawoke:
I won’t say anything no more…

I realized that the people oppressed are the ones that defend their oppressors most.

Same with church members, pastors go dey use members head, and when you tell the church members to wise up, they will hate you and call you devil agent.

I don’t live in Nigeria, i have worked in top organizations in the world and still do … I won’t mention the names but check other billionaires in the world and their organizations like

Bill gate - Microsoft
Meta
Amazon
Apple
Google
Tesla

And many others…

A slave born into slavery will never know what is freedom and the idea of freedom will sound like madness

Try to work for any of the organizations listed and you will cry for all the so called employment opportunities tha your billionaire dangote is providing in Nigeria.

I will say no more, enjoy your dangote

Lol, a poor man defending a billionaire for underemployment, hiring graduates as truck drivers / managers … lmao!
Baba talk say he dey send them go training school for zaira. Chai , poverty and slavery, please stay far away from me… far far away!!
