The Directorate of Security Services (DSS) arrested Faisal Maina in Abuja and handed him over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after the former pension boss’s son secretly returned to Nigeria.
The arrest took place in the capital city, where DSS officers detained Maina following a brief search of his residence. Sources say the move was part of a broader effort to bring individuals suspected of financial misconduct to justice.
Faisal Maina is the son of a former pension boss, a detail that has drawn attention from both the public and law‑enforcement agencies. His return to Nigeria had been conducted in secrecy, prompting the DSS to act swiftly.
After the arrest, DSS officials transferred Maina to the EFCC, the federal agency charged with investigating economic and financial crimes. The handover is expected to allow the EFCC to take over the investigation and any subsequent legal proceedings.
Details of the charges against Maina have not yet been released, and no statement has been issued by the EFCC or the DSS regarding the case’s next steps.
