Men in military apparel on Sunday
broke into the Kaduna residence of Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of the
Presidential Pension Reform Task Team.
Spokesman of the Kaduna State
Police Command, ASP Aliyu Mukhtar, said that the Divisional Police Office in
Kawo informed the command of the incident.
He explained that investigation
is ongoing to confirm if armed men were EFCC officials.
“We got a report from DPO Kawo
regarding the raid on Maina’s house.
“But we are yet to confirm
whether they are really officials of EFCC. Investigation is on going,” he said
Maina’s relative, Salisu, said:
“The men were shouting, where is Maina? Where is the mother?
“They tied the security man and
took him away.
“He was taken away in the trunk
of the car was later found by some villagers, tied up and handcuffed.”
The 22-year old security guard,
Ahmadu, on his release said he was dumped by the gunmen in a bush after he was
whisked away in their van.
He told journalists that the
gunmen kept asking him whether the house belong to Maina or whether he (Maina)
was staying there.
“They came in military uniforms
and Hilux van with another small car. After they had forced the gate open
around 8pm, they handcuffed me and started forcing doors to the bedrooms open,
they turned everything upside down.
“They were communicating with
somebody somewhere in Hausa, directing them to one room or the other where to
find cash. They must have been disappointed because at the end, they found
nothing, neither cash nor arms as they claimed.
“They now drove away with me and
dumped me in the bush along Mando road, close to Kaduna International Airport.
“They said I should go to any
police station so that the police can unlock the handcuff on my hand.
“I hide the cuff hand in my
shirt, so that nobody could suspect me and that was how I got commercial
motorbike that took me to Kawo police station where the handcuff was unlocked.”
he said.
