Senate Reveals How EFCC Shared 222 Houses Recovered from Maina
The Senate Committee mandated to investigate the sacked Chairman of Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina has accused the Economic and Financial Crime Commission of sharing the over 222 recovered houses among officials of the Commission. The Chairman of the Federal Establishment Committee, Sen. Emmanuel Paulker made the disclosure under order 42 and 43 of the Senate rule during Thursday’s plenary.
He said the Committee discovered that the EFCC recovered over 222 houses including hotels from Maina but lamented that the houses were shared among officials of the commission.

He added that since the mandate of the Committee was limited, it could not investigate further to identify who got what, where and under what circumstances.
According to him;
“Mr President, Distinguished colleagues, you could recall that the committee investigating former Presidential Task-force on Pensions Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina was barely a month now.”

“We met a very complex situation because we realized that over 222 houses including hotels have been recovered by EFCC and ICPC and shared, but we lack the mandate to investigate that aspect. I wish that we should be given time,” he added.”
