At the hearing of the committee on Tuesday, December 5, Fred Agbedi moved the motion that led to the adoption of the warrant of arrest.
According to Agbedi, the CBN Governor Cardoso and 18 others were sent invitations on four different occasions, but they failed to appear for the hearing, thus, the need for the action to be taken.
Idelis Uzowanem, the petitioner, said the petition was premised on the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) report of 2021.
Recall that Cardoso was recently confirmed as governor of the apex bank by the national assembly after his name was forwarded to the lawmakers.
