The House of Representatives is threatening to
issue a bench warrant for the arrest of embattled
Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, if, by
Tuesday, she fails to appear before its Committee
on Aviation.
Oduah had been summoned to answer questions on aviation related issues on the heels of the
Associated Airlines plane crash last month.
The minister will obviously also respond to the
lawmakers on the two controversial armoured
BMW cars said to have been bought for her by the
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). Oduah was, as at last night, in Israel to sign a
Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA), alongside
President Goodluck Jonathan, with Israeli officials.
“If she fails to show up (for the House Committee
hearing), we will issue a bench warrant to get her
arrested”, the House of Representatives, spokesman, Hon. Zakari Lafia Mohammed, said.
Mohammed, who spoke in an interview with
Sunday Vanguard, went on: “This is a national
issue that must be properly thrashed out with the
zeal of a wounded lion. If need be, we will ask the
Speaker to issue a bench warrant immediately she fails to show up and she will be arrested.
We’ve given her enough grace as the committee
will sit on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. All those
excuses given on her behalf will not hold by the
time we conclude our findings.” [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
