The Department of State Services has arrested Faisal, son of the former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, and handed him over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Security sources disclosed that Faisal’s arrest followed intelligence indicating that he had secretly returned to Nigeria.
“His arrest followed credible intelligence which indicated that Faisal had secretly returned to the country,” a source said.
The source added that DSS operatives tracked and arrested him in the Karsana area of Abuja before handing him over to the EFCC.
Faisal had been on the run since 2020 after being arraigned by the EFCC on a three-count charge bordering on money laundering.
