Maina opens up in new video says ‘I am not a thief’

A video making the rounds on social media shows former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension, Abdulrasheed Maina, addressing allegations of financial impropriety leveled against him.

The former pension boss was dismissed from office in 2013 during the Goodluck Jonathan administration after he was indicted in a N2.1 billion fraud. Maina evaded arrest and invitation by the EFCC and was afterward declared wanted by INTERPOL and EFCC.
