The Federal Government investigative panel has confirmed that the son of Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Taskforce Team (PRTT), sent money to the personal account of a prison official. Recall that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja sentenced Maina to eight years imprisonment in November 2021 for defrauding the federal government of N2.1 billion.👉 For More READ FULL CONTENT FROM THE SOURCE ↔️
Likewise, Tribune Online reports that Faisal, the jailed Main’s son, who was accused of being involved in a conspiracy and money laundering case, was sentenced to 14 years in jail in 2021 but later reduced by the Appeal Court in Abuja.
However, the development was confirmed by a panel constituted three weeks ago by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to probe allegations that cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, served his six-month jail term outside the prison facility, among others.
The panel, while presenting its report to the minister, stated that Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), Kelvin Loafonsi Ikechukwu, did receive money from Maina’s son.
“On the issue of Abdulrasheed Maina’s son sending money to the personal account of the Kuje Custodial Centre Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC) Kelvin Loafonsi Ikechukwu, this was found to be true.
“DCC Kelvin Ikechukwu mentioned the money paid into his personal account by Abdulrasheed Maina’s son was for the purpose of Abdulrasheed Maina’s health and welfare needs.
“The Panel is of the view that DCC Kelvin Iloafonsi Ikechukwu acted unethically and brought himself and the Nigerian Correctional Service to great disrepute by requesting and receiving money into his personal account from Abdulrasheed Maina’s son.
“Also, the Panel is of the view that even if the transfers were made with Abdulrasheed Maina’s approval, this is still a violation as DCC Kelvin Iloafonsi Ikechukwu’s conduct was not consistent with institutional regulations,” the report indicated.👉 For More READ FULL CONTENT FROM THE SOURCE ↔️
