THE Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the arrest of Abdulrashi Maina, former chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, PRTT, in Niger Republic.
Maina has been on the run and failed to appear in the court where he is being tried for corruption. This led to the jailing of Senator Ali Ndume, who stood surety for Maina’s bail.
Realnews reports that following the arrest of Maina in Niamey, Niger Republic, the Nigeria Police Force is perfecting extradition processes of the fugitive to Nigeria to enable him face trial in pending criminal proceedings against him.
