An arrest alert has been issued by the International police Organisation on Ex chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team. Abdulrasheed Maina, who is out of the country.
Meaning he can be arrested by security agencies anywhere in the world.
EFCC spokesperson ,Wilson Uwujaren said Maina was wanted for his alleged role in the fraudulent biometric contracts through which he and ex-Head of Service Steve Oronsaye and two others allegedly mismanaged over N2 billion pension funds.
Maina was, on July 21, 2015, charged with Oronsaye, Osarenkhoe Afe and Fredrick Hamilton Global Services Limited at a Federal High Court on a 24-count of procurement fraud and obtaining by false pretence.
While, Oronsaye and two others were in court and pleaded not guilty, Maina had been at large.
However, on July 21 when the court heard the bail applications of the accused, Maina through his counsel, Esther Uzoma, told the court that he was not at large, claiming that the EFCC never invited him.Despite his excuse, Maina has not appeared for trial from his alleged hideout,Some reports said he was in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). But his sympathisers claimed Maina was still in the country.
His hide and seek game prompted the EFCC to engage the INTERPOL to track him down
