The Senate has resolved to issue a warrant of arrest against the officials of Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, led by Col. Milland Dixon Dikio (rtd),

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Accounts, Senator Matthew Urhogbide, said the decision was taken following the failure of the Interim Administrator of PAP, Col. Milland Dixon Dikio , to honour the invitation of the panel on the alleged financial scandal.

Senator Urhoghide said that the committee arrived at the warrant of arrest option on the Accounting Officer of the PAP due to the persistent failure to appear before it despite coming to the National Assembly for appropriation.“We will issue a warrant of arrest on the Accounting Officer of PAP. We are left with no other option than to issue a warrant of arrest on the Accounting Officer of the PAP.

“In the same vein, payment vouchers were raised and paid for the sum of N 3,465,713,500.00 in the 2016 financial year as monthly stipends to ex-agitators in various camps. Another query reads: “Audit observed that payment voucher No: OSAPNDOC-/848/15 for the sum of N136,930,500.00 dated 22/12/2015 was paid to a vendor without relevant supporting documents such as letter of agreement, cost of logistics, list of Niger Delta youths beneficiaries for a purported training event on Automobile Manufacturing Maintenance etc and this contravened the above quoted Financial Regulation provision.
