EFCC declares former pension task-team chief Maina wanted
Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared Abdulrasheed Maina wanted over an alleged case of receiving stolen property. The agency said the former pension task-team chairman is 61 and asked the public to provide information to its offices, police or other security agencies.
Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina wanted over an alleged case of receiving stolen property, the agency said in a notice signed by its head of media and publicity, Dele Oyewale. The EFCC published the notice on its official X account and asked anyone with information about Maina’s whereabouts to contact its offices in several Nigerian cities, the nearest police station or other security agencies. It also provided a telephone number and email address.
The commission identified Maina as 61 and an indigene of Biu in Borno State. The supplied report says he previously chaired the now-defunct Pension Reform Task Team. Maina was extradited to Nigeria in 2020 after being arrested in Niamey, Niger, following a bail violation and a declaration that he was wanted by an Abuja High Court.
He had been facing an ongoing money-laundering trial involving an alleged ₦2 billion. The EFCC notice does not establish guilt.
