- Civil servants in Nigeria have condemned the reinstatement of Abdulrasheed Maina

- The civil servants also condemned the involvement of the head of civil service of the federation in the matter

- The civil servants said the letter from Oyo-Ita’s desk on Maina's reinstatement was fake as it bore incomplete reference number

Some civil servants in Nigeria have condemned the reinstatement of the former chairman of the presidential task force on pensions reform, Abdulrasheed Maina.

The civil servants under the aegis of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigerian (ASCSN) said dragging the head of service of the federation into Maina's recall is wrong.

The association said the letter from Oyo-Ita’s desk on Maina's reinstatement was fake as it bore incomplete reference number.

Speaking to journalists on the matter the chairman of ASCSN, Bolaji Sunday Olaiya, said: “If anybody is to be questioned, it is the man who signed the letter on behalf of the HoS, giving the impression that the letter came from the office.

“The person must have soiled his hands somewhere along the line as you can see, that even the reference ‘4029’ which is used in the letter is fake and incomplete. The 4029 is not a complete reference; he is trying to mislead the public and the Nigerian people. The correct reference starts with ‘FC4029’

“He is misleading the general public by referring this letter as if it emanated from the HoS. This letter he referred to dated 18th September does not exist but it emanated from the Federal Civil Service Commission."

NAIJ.com earlier reported that the minister of interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, has asked Maina to submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for interrogation.

Maina has been on the run since President Buhari ordered his sack and arrest.

Dambazau who is reportedly facing the wrath of the Senate over the scandal, gave the directive in a correspondence to the anti-graft agency.
