     Maina had on November 14, 2017, sued the anti-graft agency for what he described as an ineligibility of the commission to carry out its functions on the grounds that the 2004 EFCC Act is an illegality.
In the petition he filed through his lawyer, Muhammad Sani Katu, Maina urged the court to declare as null and void the EFCC act of 2004, on the premise that the act was modified by the former president Olusegun Obasanjo without passing the normal legislative processes as enshrined in the 1999 constitution as amended.He also prayed the court to restrain the EFCC or any other security agency from arresting him over allegations of corruption.Maina went to court after he was declared wanted by the EFCC for allegedly diverting recovered pension funds while serving as chairman of the pension reform task team.Listed among the four respondents in the suit are – the EFCC, the AGF, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker of House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.However, at the previous sittings, Counsels to EFCC and Attorney General of the federation, filed a preliminary objection arguing that the Federal High Court in Kaduna lacks jurisdiction to entertain the matter.This according to them was on grounds that the plaintiff had filed similar suit at a court of the same jurisdiction in the nation’s capital, Abuja. After listening to all the parties, the presiding Judge, Justice Saleh Shuaibu adjourned the case to March 28 for the ruling.Delivering his judgement on Wednesday, Justice Shuaibu struck out Maina’s suit for lack of substantial evidence to back his claims.The judge upheld the preliminary objection by the EFCC lawyer and that of the Attorney General of the federation, who contended that since the main claim of the applicants was founded on mere speculation, their principal reliefs are not maintainable under the law.Reacting to the judgement, Counsel to Abdulrasheed Maina says he will consult his client with a view to contesting the judgement at the Court of Appeal.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
