“In a memo to the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, the President equally demanded a full report of the circumstances of Maina’s recall and posting to the Ministry of Interior.
“The report is to be submitted to the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Mallam Abba Kyari, before the end of work today, Monday, October 23, 2017.
Maina was appointed in 2010 to sanitize the pension system by the President Goodluck Jonathan administration but was in 2012 accused of leading a massive pension fraud scheme amounting to more than N100 billion.
He consequently fled the country to evade prosecution.
