Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Department of State Service have arrested former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Force, AbdulRashid Maina.
Maina, embroiled in N2.1bn pension scam, was arrested in a joint EFCC and DSS operation.
According to a source, Maina was arrested in a hotel in Abuja as he attempted escaping by shooting at the DSS operatives detailed to arrest him.
The source told SR that, "He hid himself in a bulletproof car for several hours before he was forced out by the operatives. On the request of the EFCC, the DSS have been monitoring his movement for days before now."
It was gathered that one Zainab Buratai, a woman who claimed to be a business woman and philanthropist in Abuja, by her Twitter handle but no established direct connection with the Chief of Army Staff, said Maina has been using influence in the police force, to terrorize his extended family. Mainz had ordered one of her nephew, Sadiq to be arrested.
Sadiq was beaten to comma on the allegation of stealing $1.7m belonging to Maina. Whereas, Maina's biological son has admitted stealing the father's money and Maina's son Laila confirmed taken possession of the unspent stolen fund from the son.
Maina's younger brother, Khalid, was also arrested and detained by officers of the IG special team under Abba Kyari. It took intervention of senior police officers to secure the release of Khalid last weekend.
Personnel of the anti-graft agency have arrested several agents, couriers, informant and subordinates of Maina in the last 2 months and several properties hidden under several proxies and concubine seized from the fugitive.
As at the time of this report, the DSS is still profiling Maina and possibly would hand him over to the EFCC later on Wednesday or sometime soon.
His possession of firearm, among others, is to be investigated by the DSS.
