The House of Representatives has threatened to order the arrest of the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Bisoye Coker-Odusote.
The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions issued the threat in a statement issued by the Head, Media/Public Petitions Committee, House of Representatives, Chooks Oko, on Wednesday in Abuja.
The committee said it would actualise the threat if Coker-Odusote failed to come in person to answer charges on refusal to pay for a state-of-the-art software development project.
Chairman of the committee, Mike Etaba frowned at the continuous absence of the NIMC director-general despite several invitations.
“If she fails to show up at the next hearing of this case, we’ll have no option than to ask the Inspector-General of Police to bring her.
