The Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, has asked the wanted former chairman of Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, to report to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, The PUNCH has learnt.

Dambazau’s directive is contained in an official correspondence sent to the EFCC by the ministry.

It was learnt that the letter was in response to a letter written to the ministry asking that it makes Maina available for questioning.
