Both the Senate and the House of Representatives are probing into the controversial reinstatement of Maina. The AGF had filed an ex-parte motion, praying the court for an order of injunction stopping the probe embarked upon by the Senate pending the determination of his substantive suit. But Justice Binta Nyako, who heard the AGF’s ex parte application in chambers on Monday, ordered the AGF to put the National Assembly on notice. The court then adjourned until January 15 for the National Assembly to show cause why AGF’s request should not be granted. Maina, who was wanted over allegations of misappropriating pension funds levelled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, was dismissed from the federal civil service in 2013.
