Findings by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have revealed why a former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, jumped bail and fled to the Republic of Niger.
The EFCC said on Wednesday that he sneaked out to Niger Republic after jumping court bail to obtain new travel documents at the Embassy of the United States of America in Niamey to enable him to flee back to the USA with his family where he and his family are equally citizens.
According to the commission, Maina resorted to going for fresh travel documents because his earlier ones had been deposited with the Registrars of the Federal High Court and the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory as part of the conditions attached to the bail granted him last year by both courts.
