The embattled former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina, has requested to appear before a House of Representatives investigative panel, Daily Trust gathered.
The House is probing the circumstances of his controversial promotion and reinstatement into the federal civil service.
Sources told Daily Trust on Thursday that Maina, who was reported to have fled the country after the scandal of his secret reinstatement and promotion to a position of director, is indeed somewhere in the country.
It was gathered that Maina submitted some documents to the House panel, chaired by Aliyu Sani Madaki, (APC Kano State).
The documents, Daily Trust further learnt, were submitted by one Barrister Muhammad Sani Katu, a lawyer with the Justice Maman Nasir Chambers.
Maina is expected to appear before the panel next week barring change of schedule, the sources said.
However, the sources said, powerful forces were making frantic efforts to prevent him from appearing before the panel as he is likely to open “can of worms” against them.
Maina is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged billion naira fraud.
