Alleged fraud: Maina petitions AGF, faults charges against him

The former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina, has petitioned the Attorney- General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, SAN, calling for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, to account for the money and properties recovered by the PRTT.

Maina, in the petition made available to journalists on Wednesday, requested that a review of the criminal charges filed against him by the EFCC be made.

“Our client’s prosecution by the EFCC came to a head principally due to his demand that the EFCC should account for the sums and property recovered by the PRTT, and kept in the EFCC’s custody.

“The petition became necessary as our client was consistently accused by the anti-graft agency of diversion of the funds recovered instead of accounting for the sums and property in its custody.”

Maina alleged that a campaign of calumny was lunched against him to obfuscate the issues and divert attention from the inability to account for the property recovered by the task force.

He appealed for a review of the cases on the grounds that he had at all times, performed his duties in the best interest of the nation and not his personal interest.
