Chairman, Pension Reform Task Team, Mr Abdulrasheed Maina, shocked officials of ICPC on Thursday with the revelation of how the pension reform task team caught a high ranking civil servant in the pension unit at the office of the Head of Service with N2 billion stashed in his private residence.
The Head of Pension Reform Task Team while updating officials of the Commission at its headquarters on the progress by the team in recovering looted pension funds, disclosed that the team had recovered a total of N151billion meant to have been looted by officials responsible for managing the pension funds.
Mr. Maina also narrated how another civil servant was caught with ’a pile of dollars’ in his house.
He emphasized that some government officials had over the years been involved in senseless looting of the pension arrears of helpless retirees, many of whom had died while many others were stricken with ailments arising from denial of their pensions by corrupt government officials.
He said the offenders had been arrested and were already in the process of prosecution.
