The family of the embattled former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina, on Wednesday confirmed that the State Security Service, SSS, helped the fugitive into the country and provided security for him.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the SSS led by Lawal Daura aided his return to the country and also provided a safe house for him.

Mr. Daura was declared wanted by the anti-graft agency, EFCC, in 2015 for his involvement in an alleged N2 billion pension scandal. Despite being on the run since then, PREMIUM TIMES exclusively reported how he was sneaked into the country, recalled into the civil service in the interior ministry from where he was sacked in 2013, and then promoted.

Since PREMIUM TIMES broke the news of his recall last Friday, Mr. Maina has gone back into hiding. Although his recall has been rescinded by President Muhammadu Buhari, the president is yet to act on a report by the Head of Service on how the fugitive was recalled into the civil service.

The role of the SSS in bringing back Mr. Maina was confirmed by a representative ofhis family, Aliyu Maina, who told journalists on Wednesday that the fugitive was working with the SSS, also known as DSS.

“Abdulrasheed was in fact invited by this administration and he was promised security to come and clean up the mess and generate more revenue to government by blocking leakages,” the family representative was quoted as saying in Kaduna by Daily Trust newspaper.

“He succumbed to the present administration and came back to Nigeria. He has been working with the DSS for quite some time and he was given necessary security.”

The SSS is yet to speak on the scandal and has no spokesperson to be contacted.

However, investigations by PREMIUM TIMES showed that Mr. Maina’s relationship with the SSS dates beyond the leadership of Mr. Daura and the Buhari administration. Between 2011 and 2013 during the Goodluck Jonathan administration, the agency paid about N152million into an account controlled by Mr. Maina.

JESUS CHRIST. So even the trash from GEJ's administration is seen as gold by Buhari. This tells you the level of Sh**t incompetent morons currently running things. No wonder the country's economy is in the toilet.
