The House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee has threatened to summon the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, and other top government officials over the alleged loss of $2.4 billion from illegal sale of 48 million barrels of crude oil.
Malami, the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, and others had failed to appear before the committee chaired by Mark Gbillah on Wednesday. They were invited to participate in the committee’s probe of inflows from recoveries from whistle blowers and expenditures.
The committee however said it is giving the appointees one last opportunity to appear before it and speak on inflows from recoveries from whistleblowers. Chairman of the committee, disclosed that documents from the Accountant General showed that payments have been made to whistle blowers and recoveries from whistle blowers but no evidence to show that those monies were expended in accordance with the relevant laws.
