The EFCC had earlier declared Mr Maina wanted over fraud allegations regarding the use of funds meant for Nigerian pensioners.

Mr Maina and his 20-year-old son, Faisal, were arrested by the operatives of the State Security Service at the Pennsylvania Avenue Hotel, Utako, Abuja, on September 30.

“Maina was arrested in the company of his 20-year-old son, Faisal Abdulrasheed Maina, who unsuccessfully tried to resist the arrest,”AdvertisementMr Maina was in 2012 accused of leading a massive pension fraud scheme amounting to more than N100 billion. Ironically, he had been drafted by the then Goodluck Jonathan administration in 2010 to sanitise a corrupt pension system.

He was dismissed from the civil service for allegedly absconding from duty and attempting to evade arrest and charged to court.
