Maina: Senate indicts EFCC, says seized 222 properties ‘shared’

The senate ad hoc panel set up to investigate the questionable restoration of former Chair of the Presidential Process Power on Retirement living Changes, Abdul-Rasheed Maina, has indicted the Economic and Financial Criminal offenses Commission.

The senate, at the plenary on Friday, further requested the ad hoc panel to sensor / probe into the location of the 222 qualities captured from claimed pension finance criminals and kept in the legal care of the EFCC.

Chairman of the panel, Senator Emmanuel Paulker, moved a motion to improve the sensor / probe to the captured qualities in the EFCC’s legal care, as they had been supposedly “shared.” He also requested a longer period to bring out the task.
Paulker said, “The senate notices that the Presidential Process Power on Retirement living Changes headed by Maina, in the course of discharging its require, retrieved about 222 houses, hotels, domain investment portfolios and qualities from pension finance thinks in Abuja and other major places across the country.

“The senate similarly notices that before Maina left, the pension change task group retrieved resources from claimed pension looters, working with the EFCC, ICPC, DSS, police and paramilitary agencies who implemented the recoveries and thereafter, the EFCC took over legal care of the retrieved resources.

“The senate further observed that the EFCC, as a member of the Maina-led pension tax force group, had the legal abilities to impound and take legal care of resources.

“The senate is frightened that the total retrieved resources from claimed pension criminals are revealed to be supposedly shared by some interest groups.

“The senate further notices that this exposure appeared during the current research by the ad hoc panel on the restoration of Maina and the panel similarly received a case on the retrieved qualities by the work force.”

Chairman of the sensor / probe panel therefore advised the congress to flourish the opportunity of the research and give the panel a longer period to bring out the exercise.
