Maina Is A ‘Very Irresponsible’ Citizen – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has described the former Chairman of Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina as a fugitive of law.

The commission who further claimed Maina is an irresponsible accused him of stealing allegedly about N3billion pensioners’ fund in what it described as an elaborate grand scam.

According to the EFCC, Maina is a citizen of the United States and a naturalised resident of the UAE.

It further stated that Maina has an expired Nigerian passport but has always sneaked into the country (Nigeria) at night through the borders with Niger in Sokoto and Katsina.

This EFCC said while filing a counter affidavit against the bail application which was tendered by Maina.

Maina is facing trial at a Federal High Court in Abuja for money laundering related charges.

The commission begged the court to reject Maina’s bail saying that he had been on the run for seven years before he was eventually arrested.

The EFCC said if granted bail, Maina, with the huge funds at his disposal, would compromise its witnesses, some of whom are his blood relations and family members.
