Barely five days after some haggard looking men suspected to be hired assassins invaded the home of the embattled former Chairman of the Presidential Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, in Abuja, brandishing sophisticated weapons and harassing his family members, his family house in Kawu area of Kaduna was again attacked at about 9am on Sunday.
An eyewitness, who simply identified himself as Mallam Salisu, told The Street Reporters that no fewer than nine men arrived the house in a Hilux van and a Peugeot 406 car.
Maina’s mother resides in the house.
While the Hilux van was stationed outside the house, the 406 was driven straight into the compound and one of the occupants asked of Abdulrasheed Maina and his mother’s whereabouts.
After ransacking the house, breaking the front and the back doors as well as the ceiling in the process, and not finding their targets, the men, who were shouting: “Where is Maina?”, “Where is the mother?”, tied up the security man and took him to an unknown destination.
He was later dumped at a bush on the outskirt of Kaduna, where he was found by the villagers, with a handcuff.
The matter has been reported to the Kawu Police Station by one of the family members, identified as Aliyu Maina, and security men have since been detailed to the house alongside anti-bomb experts who combed the house and its vicinity.
Some of the suspected assassins were said to be dressed in military uniforms.
Five days ago, a similar incident took place at the Abuja home of the former pension reform boss, where two rooms in the house were ransacked, checking personal apparels in the house without any form of identification or a search warrant.
Maina’s security aides, who were immediately informed, arrived the rented house, but the suspected men, led by a man said to be wearing a police uniform, was accosted, but they rebuffed every attempt to have them disclose their identity and mission around Maina’s home.
