Abdulrasheed Maina Hospitalized After Slumping On His Office Staircase

Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), reportedly collapsed on Tuesday just outside his office.

Emmanuel Nweke, who serves as Maina’s media aide,  said the ex-pension boss reportedly lost his footing while trying to enter the office.

In a statement, Nweke explained that Maina fell, struck his head on the staircase, and became unconscious.

According to him, the fall was linked to an “untreated knee injury” that Maina has been grappling with.

“The incident occurred following complications arising from an untreated knee injury, which caused him to lose balance and fall, resulting in his head hitting the staircase,” the statement reads.

“Medical personnel present promptly administered first aid, after which he was rushed to a private hospital in Abuja for urgent medical attention.

“Dr. Maina is currently receiving close medical care and remains under observation.

“Following preliminary medical assessment, one of the attending doctors advised that arrangements be considered for an air ambulance medical evacuation should his condition not stabilise within a short period.

“His family and medical team are closely monitoring his progress. The family appeals to the public for prayers, understanding, and respect for privacy at this critical time.”

Maina was recently freed from Kuje prison, where he had been serving a sentence after being convicted in a pension fraud case.

KanyiDaily recalls that Abdulrasheed Maina said that the assets linked to Abubakar Malami are much smaller than the amount he is accused of stealing.
