By Dipo Olowookere

Nigeria’s upper parliament, on Friday, ordered that arrest Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of 30 companies after they allegedly failed to appear it.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), these CEOs refused to honour an invitation sent to them to appear before it to explain what they know about the alleged N30 trillion revenue scam.

One of the persons includes Mr Mike Adenuga of Globacom.

On Wednesday, the Senate had threatened to issue the arrest warrants; but on Thursday, it said it was extending the appearance till next week.

A Senate committee, headed by Mr Hope Uzodinma, had earlier invited the chief executives as part of its investigation into a ‘N30 trillion’ revenue scam allegedly perpetrated by the firms.
