Enforce court order, stop my persecution, Maina tells EFCC

THE embattled Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reform, Mallam Abdulrasheed Maina has asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to enforce the Federal High Court order stopping his unjust prosecution.

He has accordingly, called on the president and founder, Human Rights Radio and Brekete Family, Ordinary Ahmed Isah, to intervene in the case between him and the EFCC, ensuring that his long protracted and unjust persecution since December 2012 is brought to an end.

Maina who was the chairman of the disbanded PRTT spoke through his Media Aide, Aliyu Musa who visited Brekete family, to ask for support in ensuring that his fundamental human rights are enforced.

He explained that the decision to involve the Human Right organisation was based on its recognition that it fights just course.

Musa specifically said, “I am here to tell Nigerians to disregard the lies told about Maina and to inform them that Abdulraheed Maina did not steal a dime of the pension fund or any other such funds, because he never received budget nor a dime”.

He was only working on papers and never handled cash so how could he have stolen? I state categorically that the cabal is afraid that Maina may expose them. Can we know why 42 out of the 43 Pension suspect arrested in 2012  are not to be convicted?

“This is purely a case of corruption fighting back.  It’s no longer secret that pension thieves in cahoots with some senior staffers of the security agency are using the media to propagate lies. He insisted “
