From ADETUTU FOLASADE-KOYI, Abuja
Senate Committees on States and Local Government Administration, and Establishment and Public Service have declared Chairman of the Pension Task Team (PTT), AbdulRasheed Maina wanted over the whereabouts of N159 billion pension funds. Joint Committee Chairman, Senator Aloysius Etok said should Maina fail to show up before the committee by 11:00am today, the panel would go ahead with a scheduled public hearing on the missing funds.
Invited to appear before the committee were police pension office, prison and the pension office. Etok recalled how Maina elected to shun the committee’s investigation on pension funds but chose to take his defence to the media rather than the Senate. “After the submission of the report, the chairman of PTT organised several media meetings, claiming that Maina was not given fair hearing during the investigation. “We gave him (the) opportunity for fair hearing but he refused to appear before the committee until we issued a warrant of arrest.
There is no law that states that if one is sued to court and he refuses to appear, the court will not go ahead to deliver judgement. “We went out of our way to issue warrant of arrest before he appeared before the committee. It was as a result of all these that we now decided to invite him again so that he could have fair hearing. “We want to give Maina the last chance and this committee, which represents the Senate of the Federal Republic, is saying that whosoever is behind Maina’s arrogance should know that his time is up and the masses want him to account for his stewardship.
“He should appear before this committee at 11am tomorrow (today) without fail. If he doesn’t come, the committee will proceed to hold the public hearing and we will take presentations from prison, police and pension. We will get all the presentations and make up our case and tell the public what we discovered in the course of our investigations.” Co-chairman of the joint committee, Senator Kabiru Gaya then gave a detailed breakdown of the missing funds, adding that the monies must be accounted for. His words: “N159 billion pension fund is unaccounted for.
In the head of service alone, N139 billion was released but N100 billion was paid out to pensioners. In the police service, N131 billion was paid in five years but only N88 billion was paid out, N44 billion is yet to be accounted for. “This money belongs to the masses and it is expected that it should be accounted for.
“If everybody is allowed to grab as much as he could get, what are we going to bequeath our children? Some people feel that because they have godfathers, that no one can bring them to judgement, they should realise that God is watching.”
That man and his godfathers are suppose to hang and the senate suppose to use them as an example.
Can someone pls diffrentiate these people, the senate, the masses and the godfathers? My brother Maina nothing will happen to you, that god who delivers Nigerian currupt leaders will surely deliver you.

How can an individual have the mind to be this
Callous in squandering pensioner’s benefits?
What happened to our conscience?
Why re we this heartless? My father is suffering
The same fate as a pensioneer, its been 3 years since
He retired from civil service, court of Appeal to
To be precise and he’s not gotten a dine both
From his PFA and Court of Appeal!
What an irony, even the Court that claims to
Be the hope of the common man is really
Becoming the head quarters of corruption!
Shit really do smell

Look kingben and Due for your information Buhari is the worst thing that can happen to common man in Nigeria.Just look at what his boys are doing ( Boko Haram) to our dear nation.
If Buhari is the last hope,why did he over throw a govt that was elected by the poeple and that where the whole problem of this country started till date.
Without his action in 1985,Gen.IBB;Gen.Abach and Co will not get us where we are today.So stop preaching 4 dis evil man ,nothing good has come out of him and will ever come,maybe after Boko Haram he still have another bigger evil in his store to give to nigerians
I doubt if dis country wil be wel again.
who is the god father so callous as to embolden mr maina to rape our economy in this shameless manner. President GOODLUCK, the guy who knew the pains of shoelessness is the biggest god-father in this country today. if he is not behind this guy then he should find a way to checkmate the guy. its a duty he owes to men and women whose offense is that they served their nation and retired only to be consigned to misery and penury by lovers of filthy lucre like the mainas of this world.
what did Buhari do during military regime?if you do not somthing to comment better keep quite.you agent of destruction.
Fellow nigerians, join me with the bill on my hands to legalise corruption . Therefore it will be survival of fitness elimination of unfit. May god save me the rest who beleive in jesus and God of creation.
The major problems ng has were the following: 1.ng military ,police ,civil denfence. who aide the politician , merely the habitual riggers to disfranchise the masses 4rm selecting the pple they wish. 2: court which refuse to deliver accurate judgement b/c of sack . Let us glance our on this statement and know if iam making a statement with comminication or not God bless us amen
My brother Maina,don’t mind the Senate.They can only bark but can not bite.What happened to all their findings on corrupt leaders? What is the outcome of all their probes? Are our corrupt leaders not walking freely on our streets? Are the Senators and Reps not corrupt? Set a thief to catch a thief. A kettle calling pot BLACK.
Don’t mind the Senate,enjoy your loot !!
For the living Pensioners,do not worry.God will see you all through.
For the dead Pensioners,May your souls rest in perfect peace.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA !
They decleared Maina wanted because he hasn’t settled them.
