The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has once again declared Abdulrasheed Maina, former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, a wanted person. Maina, 61 years old and an indigene of Borno State, is accused of receiving stolen property, according to the EFCC. The commission made this announcement via a wanted notice published on its X account, signed by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.
The EFCC has urged the public to assist in locating Maina by reporting any information about his whereabouts to their offices or through designated contact methods. Maina is not new to legal troubles related to pension funds; he was previously convicted of money laundering in 2021 and sentenced to eight years in prison, which was upheld by the Court of Appeal in 2023.
He has also been wanted before but was arrested in Niger Republic in 2019 and later released in February 2025 after qualifying for statutory remission.
