The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has renewed its search for former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina, declaring him wanted over an alleged case involving receiving stolen property.
The EFCC made the declaration in a notice signed by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.
The commission described Maina, 61, as an indigene of Biu, Borno State, and urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact its offices or other security agencies.
Maina has previously been declared wanted by the EFCC in connection with allegations of financial crimes.
He was also prosecuted by the commission over pension-related money laundering offences and convicted by the Federal High Court in Abuja in 2021.
The court sentenced him to eight years in prison and ordered the forfeiture of assets linked to the case.
Maina was released from custody in February 2025 after serving part of his sentence.
The latest EFCC notice, however, did not provide detailed information on the circumstances surrounding the new allegation or explain whether it is connected to the previous case for which Maina was convicted.
