Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) at a hotel in Abuja after allegedly sneaking into the country from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Faisal Abdulrasheed Maina, the 20-year old child, of fomer chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, supposedly pulled a gun on security operators when officers of the Department of State Security (DSS) captured them both Monday, September 30, 2019.

The Public Relations Officer of the DSS National Headquarters, Abuja, Dr Peter Afunanya, revealed this in an announcement on Wednesday. As per the announcement titled DSS ARRESTS ABDULRASHEED MAINA, made accessible to newmen in Abuja, the DSS in a joined activity, on 30th September 2019, captured Maina at the Pennsylvania Avenue Hotel in Abuja.

He said the capture pursued a solicitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the Service to aid the misgiving of the suspect.

“Maina was arrested in company of his 20-year-old son, Faisal Abdulrasheed Maina, who unsuccessfully tried to resist the arrest.  

“The lad even pulled a pistol against the security agents involved in the operation. He was, however, disarmed and arrested. He is a final year student at the Canadian University of Dubai where he is studying Telecoms Engineering.  

“Items recovered from the suspects include a pistol with live ammunition, a bulletproof Range Rover SUV, a BMW Saloon car, foreign currencies, a phantom 7 drone and sensitive documents.  

“The suspects and the recovered items will be handed over to the EFCC for further investigations and appropriate necessary actions.  

“It is instructive to note that the operation is as a result of a renewed interagency collaboration among security and law enforcement agencies.

“The Service has always subscribed to such collaboration believed to be important in national security management and therefore, hopes to sustain the initiative in mitigating the current threats against public safety and national critical assets,” the statement read.
