The Federal High Court in Abuja has stopped the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from declaring wanted, a former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina, who was suspected of complicity in diversion of pension funds.

The EFCC had declared him wanted after news broke in 2017 that Maina, who had been dismissed from the federal civil service in 2013 on the basis of the corruption charges leveled against him, had been reinstated.



But in her judgment delivered on January 31, 2019, Justice Folasade Giwa-Ogunbanjo, held that the EFCC could not declare Maina wanted without first obtaining a court order.

Delivering judgment in the suit filed by Maina on September 5, 2018, Justice Giwa-Ogunbajo ruled that the EFCC could not exercise its powers under sections 1(2)(c), 6, 7, 13 of the EFCC Act without recourse to court.

A certified true copy of her judgment reads in part, “The plaintiff’s second prayer is a declaration that without recourse to any safeguard in sections 35, 37, 41 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), including a judicial intervention, order of court pursuant to sections 1(1), 8(1) and 42(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015, the 1st defendant cannot lawfully exercise its discretion, powers and or functions under sections 1(2)(C), 6, 7, 13 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Act, 2004, ditto section 4 of the Police Act, 2004 within the confines of the law.”

Hahahahaha..
Click share if U actually expected dis lying and pretentious govt to prosecute him
Click Like if U knew it was jus a waste of our tym

Maina, Babachir Lawal, Oke are all proof dat dis govt is a joke

Lol.
Has the EFCC botched this case again? The other day, Babachir Lawal was all smiles in court when he was arraigned because he knows the case would be thrown out at last due to the well-planned script between him and EFCC which would see him discharged

maina may run but will not escape the long arm of the law

There was never any intention to prosecute Maina and Babachir(who's the presidency crooner). Everything was arranged due to public outcry. Bubu's fight against corruption is sincerely a fight against opposition!

Magu and buhari belong to the same class of hypocrites

Is it that the efcc do not have lawyers who advice them or they choose to deceive themselves by dwelling on propaganda corruption fight.

Na was

Buhari is in action

Since Buhari want to fight corruption to a Next Level...



Atiku has promised to appoint Buhari as EFCC chairman and Osibanjo CJN so that they will continue to fight corruption while he will fight unemployment , insecurity and make Nigeria economy work again....

Watch as Buhari as quickly obeys this particular order .

Nigerians have looked back these 4 years and what we have seen is only total darkness and misery. Life has been so miserable within just 4 years of only one man Buhari, is it the herdsmen killings, bokoharam killings, disunity, nepotism, python dance on armless protesters, Shitte Muslims killings, Poverty capital of the world, what have we not seen within just 4 years of this man Buhari, what??.

Anyone thinking of voting Buhari again may all these calamity listed above follow your immediate family from generation to generation, non shall escape it till eternity. Amen

Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi all the way..

Every corrupt and corrupt politicians that have looted our NATIONAL treasury at one point of the other in their political career will all end painfully.
Painful ends await them all, no matter the party they are and everyone supporting them.

Our Judiciary needs reform. All these cash and carry justice for the wealthy will have to stop.

Buhari and his body language is corruption personified!! Mr integrity my foot! Old criminal..

This is a slap on the face of Nigerians! Yet some disjointed fellows still want to vote this bigot!

BUHARI HAS BEEN SAVING US SINCE 1983
VOTE BUHARI TO ENJOY MORE

Will they also blame this on Onnoghen

Alhaji maina....the man wey sabi.

This is Nigeria...

Hahahahaha interesting. Didn't I said Meina will become a governor or a minister one day under apc? The game plan has reached semi final, the Buhari devilish next level is loading.......

fu*ked up country. They only prey on the weak ghetto kids.

I want to believe EFCC's legal department should be aware of the processes before declaring Mr. Maina wanted.
Anyway, over to EFCC.

If he says I Love you ...say I Love you too Don't let him lie alone

Maina uncommon pension thief.

Would EFCC have obeyed the court if the person of interest was Fayose or Metuh?

Do you know NNPC is not answerable to any arm of government? Why do you think Buhari keeps running to head NNPC? Contracts are awarded willy nilly to friends and cronies, an establishment that can't maintain refineries is a scam
