Embattled former Chairman of the Pension Reform
Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina, has said that, he is being haunted for
stopping N5.32bn which he alleged was being stolen monthly in the office of the
Head of Service and Police Pension office alone.
Maina said, his media trial and framed up
allegations were part of efforts by ‘pension thieves’ to stop him from exposing
them, which is why he asked President Muhammadu Buhari to thoroughly
investigate pending pension petitions, especially as Senator Kabiru Gaya said
in an interview that, that the N195bn which he (Maina) was accused of stealing
is in the TSA account.
Speaking through his aide, Olajide Fashikun in
Kaduna on Tuesday, Maina who has been on the run said the presidential
investigation is imperative to expose the real pension thieves, some of whom he
alleged, are highly placed public office holders, adding that such will bring
respite to starving pensioners.
Maina, who said his Task Team saved the country
about N282bn from June 2010, when it was constituted, revealed that, the
presidential investigation will also expose the sum of six million pounds
stashed in accounts in London and the top government functionaries in different
offices who are drawing the interest on the accounts.
