Pres. Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the immediate disengagement of Abdulrasheed Maina and asked for a full report on circumstances of his recall.
In a press release just released by the State House and signed by Femi Adesina, the President asks that a full report should be made available to him before the close of work today (Monday 23 October 2017).
The reinstatement of the wanted chairman of the defunct Presidential Task Team on Pensions Reforms had been a cause of confusion in the Ministry of Interior. Even the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, had said that he nothing to do with it. Moreover, the circumstances had also made some people question President’s purported effort at fighting corruption.
Maina absconded his post when he was declared wanted by the EFCC over pension scheme fraud amounting to N195 billion, for which he was indicted by the Senate Joint Committee on Public Service and Establishment and State and Local Government Administration in 2012.? He had been drafted in 2010 to help sanitize the system and ended up being accused of fraud and was arraigned in court in July 2015 alongside former head of the Federal Civil Service Stephen Orosanye and two others.
