The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team, wanted over an alleged case of receiving stolen property.
The EFCC announced the development in a notice published on Wednesday, identifying Maina as an indigene of Biu, Borno State.
The anti-graft agency appealed to anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact any of its offices or the nearest police station and other security agencies.
The commission provided its offices in Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt and Abuja as contact points. It also provided a telephone number and its official email address for information.
The latest declaration is not the first time Maina has been declared wanted by the EFCC.
In 2015, the commission declared him wanted over his alleged involvement in a pension biometric contracts case involving former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Steve Oronsaye, and two others.
The EFCC subsequently charged Maina, Oronsaye and others before the Federal High Court in Abuja on a 24-count charge bordering on alleged procurement fraud and obtaining by false pretence.
Maina was also prosecuted by the commission in 2019 over allegations relating to pension fraud and money laundering.
The EFCC’s latest wanted notice concerns an alleged case of receiving stolen property.
