EFCC confirms arrest of fleeing Maina’s son

Faisal, son of the former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Taskforce Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, has been arrested, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), confirmed to the court on Thursday.

The EFCC said the 21-year-old Faisal, who jumped bail on June 24, was apprehended by security operatives on Wednesday night.

He was declared wanted by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Faisal is facing a three-count money laundering charge the anti-graft agency preferred against him.

Justice Okon Abang had, in a ruling on November 24, revoked his bail, even as he issued a bench warrant for security agencies to arrest him wherever he is found.
