We are determined to get to the root of this matter. That is why we have renewed the investigation. We will retrieve all properties or whatever must have been stolen from public funds. This is something that we have done as far back as 2011. The matter has been in court, and Maina was also charged before the court. He was arraigned in absentia. There are real grey areas that need to be tacked properly. All those loopholes and gaps, we will follow it up and make sure all the people who are involved will face the full wrath of the law.
Acctording to the EFCC boss, it is still surprising to know that Maina came into Nigeria despite the fact that he has been on the watch list of the anti-graft agency.
“I really don’t know what happened. But I know that he has been properly placed on the watch list and he cannot sneak into this country without the law enforcement agencies. So something is wrong somewhere. Actually we need to look at that.”
EFFC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu-Says we will Pursue Maina’s Case To It’s Logical Conclusion
