Mr Pondei had on Thursday led a walk out by the NDDC team on the House Committee on Niger Delta.
The House of Representatives has issued a warrant for the arrest of Daniel Pondei, the Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commision , over what it described as ‘contempt of the legislature.’
When other lawmakers intervened and told the NDDC team that nobody could decide their modus operandi, the NDDC management staged a walkout. Irked by the action of the NDDC management, the house spokesperson, Benjamin Kalu, moved a motion, invoking section 89 of the 1999 constitution , to issue a warrant of arrest.This order of arrest is expected to be ignored by the police who have ignored similar ones by the lawmakers in the past.
“Yesterday, for reasons beyond our control, we were not able to appear but the reports that came out had already indicted us. They shaved our heads in our absence.
