The Presidency on Thursday said
an Abuja Magistrate’s Court as well as the international police, otherwise
known as INTERPOL had issued fresh warrants for the arrest of the embattled
former Chairman of the rested Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Mr.
Abdulrasheed Maina.
According to the Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Maina’s
investigation had been extended beyond his reinstatement and subsequent
posting.
The presidential spokesman said,
“Maina’s investigation has been expanded. This is beyond reinstatement. It has
gone beyond that.
“You know that the INTERPOL has
just issued an international warrant on him. A Nigerian court has also issued
yet another warrant of arrest.
“All those cases involving Steve
Oronsaye (former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation) that are ongoing,
you know Maina is also involved. Law enforcement agencies are looking at that
too.
“You are also aware that the
Senate is also carrying out its own investigation on the matter.
“The matter is being investigated
from all fronts. The EFCC, for example, is discovering more and more properties
and its officials are sealing them. They are also looking at banks and all
that.
“In fact, this investigation will
also touch some foreign countries.”
Shehu said the security agencies,
including the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), were
making presentations to the President on the matter.
