Attorney General of the
Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has disclosed what
he and ex-Pension Reform boss, Abdulrasheed Maina discussed in the United
Arab Emirates (UAE) in January, 2016.
He gave the details when he
appeared before a House of Representatives Committee on Thursday.
Malami said his official
meeting with Maina was in the presence of the National Security Adviser (NSA),
Babagana Monguno.
“My meeting with Maina was after
securing no objections from the security agencies, particularly the DSS”, he
recalled.
“He pressurized seriously to
meet me on the matter. There was a third party in attendance.
”The NSA was part of the
entourage and I intimated him. I had cause to meet with Maina with NSA in
attendance.
“At the meeting, Maina made a
submission to us that he was responsible for the recovery of N2bn pension fund
and another N1bn.
”He alleged that there was an
attempt to eliminate him when he went to the Villa.
“He said N3.7bn was shared by
some powerful forces in the pension circle.
”On our return back home, the
information was shared among the relevant agencies, and efforts were made to
block leakages.”
