Maina not a responsible citizen, EFCC tells court - The Nation Newspaper

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has claimed the former Chairman of Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, is not a responsible citizen but a fugitive of law.

It prayed the court to reject Maina’s bail request because it took a lot of efforts for security agents to arrest him after fleeing for about seven years. “The EFCC has been involved in the investigation of the 1st defendant/applicant and his cohorts in a grand Pension Scam since 2012 to date$ “The 1st defendant/applicant still refused to submit himself to EFCC, treating this Court with contempt, until his arrest.

“Part of the 1st defendant/applicant’s desperate plans to take to flight and leave the shores of Nigeria as soon as he is released on bail, is the deliberate and malicious refusal to surrender his American passport to the EFCC operatives blatantly lying that the passport has expired and is currently with the American Embassy for the purpose of renewal.

“Many Nigerians, especially pensioners and their dependents as well as families of deceased pensioners, whose funds the 1st defendant/applicant allegedly stole , are very angry with the 1st defendant applicant.

His counsel is Francis Orosanye...Any relation of Stephen Orosanye Ex Head of Service who is Maina’s co-accused in his other criminal proceedings?...
