Former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrashid Maina, is to be extradited from Niamey, capital of Niger Republic, where he was found hiding.

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) announced this on Tuesday in a statement in Abuja by its spokesman Frank Mba, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).

The police said they were perfecting the extradition processes to make Maina return to Nigeria to face trial in pending criminal proceedings against him.

Mba said Maina, who was declared wanted by a court, was arrested on the night of November 30, 2020, through the collaborative efforts of NPF operatives, the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Abuja, and their Nigerien counterpart.

The spokesman said Maina is currently in a detention facility in Niger Republic, awaiting the completion of the extradition processes.
