The House of Representatives ad-hoc committee set up to investigate the disappearance, return and reinstatement of the embattled former Minister of chairman of the Presidential Pension Task Force Team, Abdulrasheed Maina has commenced hearing.

Among those being quizzed are the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Interior Abubakar Magaji and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Oyo–Ita Winifred Ekanem, Acting Chairman of the EFCC Ibrahim Magu, Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service Mohammed Babandede, Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun, Director General of the DSS among others.

Live updates from Channels Television:

Lawal Musa Daura says Maina’s name was not placed on the DSS list so he could not be arrested.

"The EFCC has no record of any collaboration between it & Maina-led Pension Reform Task Team in investigation of pension fraud & Maina did not hand over a single asset, supposedly recovered from pension fraud suspects, to the Commission." - Ibrahim Magu

Ibrahim Magu says Maina did not hand over any asset to the EFCC

- We do not have the biometric data of Maina. ~Kemi Adeosun

- We use 2 platforms to pay salaries "IPPIS" and "GIFMIS", and there is no trace of any payment made to Maina. ~Kemi Adeosun.

Kemi Adeosun says Maina is not getting salaries from the Federal Government.

Mohammed Babandede says Maina has not been passing through the borders.

Oyo-ita insists she was not part of the reinstatement of Maina.

Abubakar Magaji says he was not in office when the process of Maina’s reinstatement began.

Abubakar Magaji says from records available to him, the ministry conducted a senior staff committee meeting for Maina’s reinstatement after receiving a letter from the office of the Head of Service to reconsider the earlier position taken by the ministry in dismissing Maina for reinstatement.

Abubakar Magaji says a meeting was held in the presence of the representative of the Head of the Civil Service and the Federal Civil Service Commissioner.

Abubakar Magaji says in the meeting, the decision to reinstate Maina was made.

Abubakar Magaji says a copy of the minutes of the meeting, was sent to the office of the Head of the Civil Service for further necessary action.

Abubakar Magaji insists the Head Of Service endorsed the letter for Maina’s return.
