The Nigerian Senate Joint Committee on Navy, Marine Transport and Finance on Wednesday, asked the Director-General, Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency ( NIMASA) Rt. Hon. Dakuku Peterside, to appear before it unfailingly on Thursday or face arrest warrant against him.
The committee is investigating the N263.89 billion illegal security services carried out by the Ocean Marine Solutions Ltd (OMLS) at the Safe Anchorage Area in Lagos Ports.
Dakuku had failed to appear before the panel but was represented at the hearing by the Principal Legal Officer of the agency, Haruna Argungu, but the Committee Chairman, Sen. George Sekibo, told Argungu to inform Peterside to appear before the committee unfailingly on Dec. 5, failure of which a warrant of arrest would be issued against him by the Senate.
The committee refused to honour Argungu in that capacity by walking him out of the session in the presence of the Minister of State, Transportation, Sen. Gbemisola Saraki, who represented her ministry.
Trouble for the NIMASA boss started when Sekibo read out list of heads of Marine Transport agencies invited for the hearing and discovered that Peterside was not personally present and further said that “the investigative hearing was supposed to have been held earlier but shifted to allow Peterside and other key players in Marine Transport to attend the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) conference which took place in London.
“It is annoying that after that grace was given to him, he still refused to appear before us.
