The House of Representatives ad-hoc panel investigating status of Treasury Single Account (TSA) yesterday resolved to issue arrest warrant against the Managing Director of the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dakuku Peterside, for failing to appear before it.
The committee, chaired by Abubakar Nuhu Danburam (APC, Kano), at a session in Abuja said Peterside, who was a member of the House during the 7th Assembly, has been taking them for a ride.
Danburam said they have sent several letters to Peterside but that he neither responded to the letters nor appeared before the panel.
He said being a former member of the House, Peterside is well abreast of legislative procedures, but that he ignored such for reasons best known to him.
Some members of the panel moved that the committee should approach the whole House to obtain arrest warrant to be signed by Speaker Yakubu Dogara for Peterside to be apprehended to testify.
