He said, “Dr Abdulrasheed Maina, former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, slumped on the evening of Tuesday, February 3, 2026, while attempting to access his office premises. “The incident followed complications from an untreated knee injury, which caused him to lose balance and fall, resulting in his head hitting the staircase. “Dr Maina is currently receiving intensive medical care and remains under observation. Maina is widely known for his controversial role as head of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms and the high-profile corruption case that followed. Despite the sentence, Maina was released from the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja on February 25, 2025, after serving part of his jail term.
