[NEWS] MAINA ON ASSETS

THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION (EFCC) HAS FILED AN APPLICATION AT THE COURT FOR THE FORFEITURE OF 29 ADDITIONAL ASSETS, WORTH N1.054 BILLION, TRACED TO ABDULRASHEED MAINA.

MAINA, THE FUGITIVE FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE PENSION REFORM TASK TEAM (PRTT), WAS ARRESTED IN AN ABUJA HOTEL IN SEPTEMBER, WHEN HE SNEAKED INTO THE COUNTRY FROM HIS UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (UAE) BASE.

HE WAS PICKED UP WITH HIS SON, FAISAL, WHO PULLED A PISTOL TO PREVENT HIS FATHER’S ARREST.

SINCE HIS ARREST, MAINA HAS BEEN UNDERGOING INTERROGATION AT THE EFCC.

SOME FOREIGN ASSETS BELIEVED TO BELONG TO MAINA HAVE ALSO BEEN LOCATED IN THE UAE AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
