According to Agbedi, issuing the arrest warrant had become inevitable after the CEOs had been invited four times, but failed to honour the invites
He said that the CEOs should be brought to appear before the committee by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun through a warrant of arrest after due diligence by the Speaker, Rep Tajudeen Abbas.
Ruling on the motion, the chairman of the committee, Micheal Irom disclosed that the IGP should ensure the CEOs were brought before the committee on December 14.
