  "summary": "The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested Faisal Abdulrasheed Maina, the son of former Pension Reform Task Team chairman Abdulrasheed Maina, and handed him over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). According to Daily Post Nigeria, DSS operatives apprehended Faisal in the Karsana area of Abuja after receiving intelligence that he had secretly returned to Nigeria.\n\nFaisal had been on the run since 2020 following an EFCC arraignment on a three-count charge involving money laundering, according to Premium Times. Daily Post Nigeria reports that the charges also included conspiracy and that Faisal fled the country while violating his bail conditions. In 2021, Justice Okon Abang sentenced him to 14 years' imprisonment in his absence, ordering his arrest and remand in a correctional centre.",
