Alleged Fraud: EFCC to arraign Maina today

Admin October 25, 2019
Presidency

Mr. Ibrahim Magu

The former chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina will today be arraigned in court.

Maina is to face charges alongside his son, Faisal, who is a final year Telecommunications Engineering student in a Dubai University.

Maina is being arraigned for alleged fraud by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He was arrested on September 30, 2019 at a hotel in Abuja after allegedly evading arrest for four years.

Although the charges are yet to be read, a source within the EFCC told Channels Television that a separate charge has been filed against his son who allegedly shot at security operatives while trying to evade arrest in September.

A Federal High Court in Abuja had earlier on Tuesday ordered the temporary forfeiture of 23 properties linked to Abdulrasheed Maina.

The trial judge, Justice Folashade Ogunbanjo, gave the order while ruling on a motion filed by the EFCC. The temporarily forfeited properties are situated in Kaduna, Borno, and Sokoto, as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
