HE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Saturday, declared that despite report claiming that the former chairman, Presidential Taskforce Team on Pension Reforms, Mr Abdulrasheed Maina, has been secretly reinstated into the Federal civil service, he is still a wanted person.



Report by an online medium, PREMIUM TIMES, claimed that Maina, who was declared wanted by EFCC in 2015 for alleged fraud in the pension sector worth N195 billion, has been reinstated and promoted to the rank of Director, Human Resources in the Ministry of Interior.

The report further claimed that Maina’s reinstatement into the Federal Civil Service might have been facilitated by the Minister of Interior and his Justice counterpart, Abdulrahman Dambazau and Abubakar Malami (SAN) respectively.

Speaking on the development, EFCC’s Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, told Sunday Tribune that Maina is still wanted by the anti-corruption commission. According to him, “Maina is still on the wanted list.”

EFCC had declared Maina wanted over fraud allegations regarding the use of funds meant for Nigerian pensioners amounting to about N195 billion. The commission secured an arrest warrant against the former pension boss to enable it to arrest him anytime and anywhere he was.

The anti-corruption commission was investigating how the biometric contract allegedly awarded to streamline pension administration under Maina actually became a conduit for stealing pension fund.

As of the time the anti-graft agency declared the Borno State-born Maina wanted, he had allegedly run out of the country and was said to have been staying in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

In a bid to stop his arrest, Maina approach the court of law, seeking an order perpetual injunction restraining the EFCC from inviting, arresting or prosecuting him through a exparte motion dated February 14, 2013 pursuant to the fundamental human right enforcement rules 2009 and section 42 sub 3 of the 1999 constitution.



He also sought the leave of the court to restrain the Senate President, Clerk of the Senate, the Senate, the Inspector General of Police and five others, preventing his arrest and prosecution pending the hearing and determination of the substantive motion.

Justice Adamu Bello, who heard the motion, however, refused Maina’s motion, describing it as unethical.

Maina was given the task to reform the country’s pension system by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010. He was a deputy director in the Ministry of Interior as of the time of his appointment by the administration.

There was, however, a turn of events in 2012 when Maina was accused of fraud amounting to about N195billion in the pension sector. He was investigated by the Senate Committee on Public Service and Establishment and State and Local Government Administration.

The committee issued a warrant of arrest against Maina for ignoring notices of appearance by the committee for him to appear before it to given testimony in its investigation.

Consequent upon his going into hiding, the Federal Civil Service Commission dismissed Maina from service based on the recommendation of the the Head of Service of the Federation.

Meanwhile, a source close to the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation also told the Sunday Tribune in Abuja that Maina was not sacked ab initio.

The source asked one of our correspondents to further investigate what exactly happened to Maina before his disappearance.

In your wanted list..? then go and grab him already....If it were Ekiti state accountant and commissioner of finance that are not on your list...you would have arrested them...Is Patient Johnathan on your wanted list...? This is why Nigerians have no confidence in this partial government...

PMB seems quintessentially ineffectual in his fight against corruption

We have not improved from where we left honestly.

We choose those to prosecute and those not to.
He is on your wanted list and the HoS has reinstated him to the Human Resources Dept and you still cannot grab him.
But you can break into the home of Supreme Court Justices for allegations that have been thrown out of the Courts.
You can seize an Accountant Gen of a State ab initio until it satisfies you to set them free.
You can term a people terrorists so as to make someone a substantive Federal High Court Chief Judge,
You can also term people who kill for fun as "freedom-fighters"
What happened to the files of babachir Lawal or Oke?
You said you saw PDP flag alongside the money,yet nothing.
Dieziani is still unprosecutable.
Baru and Kachikwu have settled behind closed doors.

195 billion naira?one olatade was justifying the unjustifiable.
If Maina is free,why sneak him in,be bold to tell Nigerians how it went down and exonerate him.

Buhari,you were a Coup Plotter in 1984,you vied this position for 12 years,tell us,what have you learnt?
Honestly,you failed Yourself and Nigerians.
Your failure needs a thesis,because it has defied common sense,morality and logic.

So what are they waiting for to arrest the man?

Good!

Now anyone who had any input or accommodated his reinstatement need to be sacked and prosecuted.

It seems after all is said and done, Buhari has embraced the cluelessness of Jonathan, and desperately campaigning for the infamous title of ineffectual buffoon.

Make una fine am

This is the most corrupt and inept regime ever. This is totally unacceptable

The mod deleting this my post should continue. I will keep reminding Nigerians the corruption and ineptitude of this government



Imagine Rochas and five others who are unable to pay salaries telling Anambra people to vote APC

Let me remind Rochas that the 2015 propaganda will not work in 2019

The APC propagandists said buhari built 4 refineries as Minister of petroleum and MD of NNPC from 1977-1978, no longer than two years. Refinery that Gowon built and Obasanjo commissioned, the credit for the building was given to the Fulani Buhari who was merely minister and few months into his tenure as petroleum minister. The contract and implementation was fully paid for before he ever became minister in the Gowon admininistration which he was not a part of.

It has been two years since he took over power this time and he is both petroleum Minister and president. The refineries are functioning way LESS than when he met them. The refineries have produced more under Obasanjo and Jonathan.

But people said this Buhari was an oil expert. He boasted he would "STABILIZE OIL GLOBAL OIL PRICE ", and Fashola opened his mouthto tell us all Buhari's early travels was to truly stabilize global oil price. He boasted that there was nothing like SUBSIDY and Jonathan was lying about subsidy. That he would fix the refineries, refine crude for Nigerians CHEAPLY and sell the rest. That it was easy.

Okay. Alright.

Oya tell superman Buhari to repair the four refineries and build new ones like you and he boasted naaa. No need for history books. No need to argue with me as you did before 2015 elections. Subsidy is a lie. Fuel is now 140 plus from 87 yet Jonathan's subsidy is a LIE. Okay

All this is long talk. Tell Buhari to fix four refineries in two years. He built the four in less a year in 1978. Surely to repair them now is as easy as kunu?


Muhammadu Buhari started his anti corruption crusade with $2.1bn Dasukigate, Sambo Dasuki was arrested, Raymond Dokpesi, Fani Kayode, Musuliu Obanikoro, Olisa Metuh, and Reuben Abati were also arrested in connection with Dasukigate.

While the government was busy wanking and masturbating with the gale of arrests and media frenzy that trailed the episodic drama, Dasuki opened up that Buhari also benefited from the $2.1bn arms fund, Dasuki reveled that he bought 2 bulletproof SUVs for Buhari from the money, he also gave him $300,000 from the same money. But Buhari denied collecting any money from Dasuki, he said he only got 2 bulletproof SUVs form him as his entitlement being a former head of state. Muhammadu Buhari forgot that former heads of state entitlements have never come from the office of the NSA before but office of the SGF, they said those accusing Buhari are the corrupt people fighting back. And that was how Dasukigate died a natural death.

The allegation of MTN N500m bribery scandal involving Buhari's Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari popped up. Tukur Buratai's multi million dollars Dubai mansions were uncovered. Abdurrahman Dambazau arms procurement fraud was reveled. Rotimi Amaechi's several attempts to bribe Supreme Court justices to give APC favorable election judgment were exposed. Kayode Fayemi's corruption allegation also came up, but Buhari shamelessly told the whole world that all the corruption allegation leveled against people in his government are false because he checked them before appointing them.

Then the Senate exposed how the then SGF, Lawal Babachir used N270m to cut grass in IDP camps, Buhari's government cleared him of any wrong doing, the government also cleared Ibrahim Magu of the weighty corruption allegations leveled against him, in fact, Muhammadu Buhari officially wrote the Senate that both men are clean. Then when Ikoyi orphaned money once again exposed how corrupt this government is, he suspended Babachir that he cleared twice of the same allegation. Up till this moment the report of the probe panel is not known to the public.

A witness told the court that Buhari's lawyer who was representing him in the certificate suit gave the presiding judge, Justice Adeniyi Ademola N500,000 at the period the case was still on but they said it wasn't a bribe but a gift.

Just recently one of Buhari's ministers, Ibe Kachikwu tactically exposed the biggest single corruption case in the history of this country, a whooping $25bn fraud in a government of saints? If Buhari that is the petroleum minister can approve contracts worth $25bn without due process and transparency, then why are we still talking about anti graft war under this government?

There is a whole lot of looting massively going on in this government but the only corrupt people they know are Jonathan's

Confused Federal Government



ATIKU 2019

The AGF is obviously a buffoon and must be thrown out.

Ok

Nigeria is bleeding.

And d scam continues...

Buhari is a monumental fraud, why not wait until the court decide on cases before it about Maina, Maina was an Assistant Director at the time of his sack and abscondment, and there hasn't been promotion exercise from Deputy Director to Director in the last three years in the civil service as a result of an existing litigation, so how did Maina become a Director overnight?
With this recall, Dieziani, Bade, Dasuki etc should just relax, whoever comes after Buhari will return whatever this government is illegally taking from them.
