Mr. Abdulrsheed Maina, former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, who is now at large has been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
In a statement signed by Wilson Uwujaren, the spokesperson of the commission, said Maina is wanted for his role in the fraudulent biometric contracts through which himself and former Head of Service, Steve Oronsaye and two others allegedly stole over N2billion of pension funds.
Maina was on July 21, 2015 charged alongside Oronsaye , Osarenkhoe Afe and Fredrick HamiltonbGlobal Services Limited before a Federal High Court on a 24 count charge bordering on procurement fraud and obtaining by false pretence, While Oronsaye and two others were in court and pleaded not guilty to the charge, Maina had been at large.
Maina has continued to shun court proceedings, leaving the Commission with no option than to declare him wanted.
Since the Commission filed charges against Maina, more evidences have continued to emerge on how the ebullient former Pension Task Team boss siphoned pension funds using secret accounts in a new generation bank in Abuja. Two officers of the bank were quizzed two weeks ago.
If you have any information on Maina’s whereabouts to contact EFCC office in Lagos, Abuja, Gombe, Kano, Port Harcourt and Enugu or report at the nearest police station.
