Uzoma said when she made an appearance on July 21, 2015 before Justice Kolawole to protest the EFCC’s claim that Maina was on the run when no charge had been served on him, was against the letters of the law

The Senate took its own decision last week

Maina had sought to stop the Senate from ordering his arrest

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday directed the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Alhaji Isa Sali, to immediately commence disciplinary action against Maina for absconding from duty.

According to the presidential spokesperson, President Jonathan does not need to personally sack him, insisting that Maina, being a civil servant, could only be disciplined by the Head of Service of the Federation in line with laid down civil service rules

The Senate on Wednesday gave President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan 48 hours within which to sack Maina

This followed the bench warrant issued on him by the Senate through the Senate Pension Probe Committee and his subsequent declaration as wanted by the police

There was no time I was invited either verbally or in writing by the Nigeria Police for any reason whatsoever. Why the said declaration? I have useful addresses where such invitations could have been directed. It is after such invitation has been dishonoured can an order for my arrest be employed

Maina, in a statement on Sunday, said that he was never invited by the police and spurned the invitation and there was no letter of invitation sent to any of his well known addresses, which he failed to acknowledge

Maina, however, said he was on his way to appear before the committee a few weeks ago but was blocked by some protesters
