Maina still on our wanted persons’ list – EFCC
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said Maina was still wanted in connection with the financial crimes he committed against Nigeria.
Spokesman for the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, said that since Maina was declared wanted by the agency in 2015, and his name sent to the Interpol through the Nigeria Police Force, his name had not been removed and the man remained wanted.
“Maina remains on our wanted persons’ list and we are still looking for him. Once we submitted his name to the Interpol through the Nigerian Police, the EFCC believes the police have done the needful to send his name to Interpol because the commission cannot send the name directly to the headquarters of the International Police in France,”
Wilson said. Wilson said, however, that he was not aware if a fresh request had been sent to the international watchdog in the light of the recent sacking of the wanted man on the order of President Muhammadu Buhari following the discovery that Maina returned to the country and started work after absconding for over three years.
But the Nigeria Police Force, yesterday, failed to establish whether the Interpol had, indeed, issued fresh arrest warrant against Maina and if he had been listed on the agency’s wanted persons’ list.
