EFCC yet to apply to INTERPOL for Maina’s arrest

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has not applied to the International Police for the arrest of fleeing former Chairman of the Presidential Task Team on Pension Reform, Abdulrasheed Maina.

It was gathered on Saturday in Abuja that the anti-graft commission had not made a formal request to the Nigerian bureau of the INTERPOL for the fugitive to be placed on the agency’s wanted list.

A highly-placed source explained that Maina had not been declared wanted because no agency had made a formal request to the INTERPOL on the issue.

A check on the INTERPOL website also showed that the former pension reform chairman had not been placed on the wanted list of the international agency.
