The Senate Committee on Finance has summoned the Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, to appear within 24 hours under police escort.
This move comes amidst concerns about discrepancies in the commission’s revenue and expenditure.
The committee, chaired by Senator Sani Musa,
during Wednesday’s budget defense session, invoking section 89, sub-section 2 of the Constitution, which allows the Senate to compel testimony from public officials.
The CAC boss, according to the committee chairman, has snubbed their summons for the third time, a blatant act of “disrespect” towards the legislative body.
He stated, “You have your book keepers; you have your records, and we asked you to go and tidy up and report back, but you never did.”
