The House of Representatives has issued a warning of a possible warrant of arrest against the Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Mohammed Odunowo.
According to reports, the threat stems from the alleged missing forty-three billion naira revenue accrued from the sales of both local and international air tickets between 2021 and 2022.
During the resumed hearing in Abuja, Hon. Abiodun James Faleke, Chairman of the House Committee on Finance, expressed dissatisfaction with Odunowo’s refusal to honour two invitations sent by the Committee.
Faleke highlighted the level of disrespect for the Parliament, stating calculation from the legislatures amount the money to about forty-three billion naira deficit.
“When we did the calculation, I recall that we recorded about N43 billion deficit. And of course, NCAA said they do not agree with the number provided by FAAN. The data whatever, that it couldn’t have been up to that.
“And FAAN said that this was not generated by them but generated by NAMA. And there’s a record – the ADR 16 that generates that. So, we asked them to come back with NAMA and with specific data from that ADR 16.
“And today, we have NCAA before us. Unfortunately NAMA is not here. I don’t know why, this is the second time, the next time we are going to issue a warrant of arrest on NAMA. If he fails to appear before us on Monday, we will issue warrant of arrest on NAMA boss,” he ruled.
