The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a warrant for the arrest of Abdulrashid Maina, a former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Force, according to a statement released on Wednesday. Maina, along with his son Faisal, was previously arraigned on 12-count charges of money laundering and concealing proceeds of unlawful acts on October 25, 2019.
He was subsequently sentenced to 61 years in prison for allegedly stealing N2 billion meant for pensioners. The court found him guilty of concealment of identity and using family members' identities without their knowledge to open accounts with cash deposits of N300 million, N500 million, and N1.5 billion in UBA and Fidelity Bank.
Maina was unable to prove that the money in the accounts was not stolen. The EFCC has now issued a public notice, requesting anyone with information about Maina's whereabouts to contact them through various offices or a hotline.
