The Senate ad hoc committee investigating the reinstatement of Abdulrasheed Maina, the ex-Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, has indicted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
On Thursday during plenary, the Senate asked the ad hoc committee to probe into the whereabouts of the 222 properties seized from alleged pension fund thieves and kept in the custody of the EFCC.
Chairman of the committee, Senator Emmanuel Paulker, said, "before Maina left, the pension reform task team recovered assets from alleged pension looters, working with the EFCC, ICPC, DSS, police and paramilitary agencies who executed the recoveries and thereafter, the EFCC took over custody of the recovered assets.
“The Senate further observed that the EFCC, as a member of the Maina-led pension tax force team, had the statutory powers to impound and take custody of assets.
“The Senate is alarmed that the total recovered assets from alleged pension thieves are reported to be allegedly shared by some interest groups.
He asked for more time to carry out the assignment.
