The Nigeria Police Force has declared Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina of the Customs, Immigration and Prisons Pension Office (CIPPO) wanted , for failing to appear before the Senate Joint Committee on the Investigation of Pension Funds, a statement by CSP Frank Mba, Deputy Force Public Relations Officer said on Friday.
The statement recalled that the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria had on 13th December, 2012, issued a Warrant of Arrest, mandating the Inspector-General of Police to arrest and produce Alhaji Maina before the Senate Joint Committee on the Investigation of Pension Fund. Since then, the subject has gone into hiding, making it difficult for the Police to execute the warrant,the police said.
Consequently, the Inspector-General of Police has directed all AIGs in-charge of Zonal Commands and State Commands Commissioners of Police to spread their drag-nets to all nooks-and-crannies of their respective areas of jurisdiction, in search of Alhaji Maina. He has also directed all operatives of Federal Intelligence Bureau (FIB), Force and State CID to join the man-hunt,Mba said.
The police spokesman added that the IGP wishes to appeal to well meaning citizens and the general public with useful information on the where-about of Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina, to kindly volunteer such information to the nearest Police Station, Formation or email policemonitor@npf.gov.ng, for necessary action.
