Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina

NIGERIA POLICE FORCE DECLARES ALHAJI ABDULRASHEED MAINA OF CUSTOMS, IMMIGRATION AND PRISONS PENSION, WANTED FOR FAILING TO APPEAR BEFORE THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

The Nigeria Police Force hereby declares wanted, this 1st day of February, 2013, Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina of the Customs, Immigration and Prisons Pension Office (CIPPO), for failing to appear before the Senate Joint Committee on the Investigation of Pension Funds.

It will be recalled that the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria had on 13th December, 2012, issued a Warrant of Arrest, mandating the Inspector-General of Police to arrest and produce Alhaji Maina before the Senate Joint Committee on the Investigation of Pension Fund. Since then, the subject has gone into hiding, making it difficult for the Police to execute the warrant.

Consequently, the Inspector-General of Police has directed all AIGs in-charge of Zonal Commands and State Commands Commissioners of Police to spread their drag-nets to all nooks-and-crannies of their respective areas of jurisdiction, in search of Alhaji Maina. He has also directed all operatives of Federal Intelligence Bureau (FIB), Force and State CID to join the man-hunt.
